Does anyone have a diagram for wiring the motors on the tiny g?
Hey @Austen_Greene it will be a little more simple than it first appears. All those wires can be intimidating.
Wire X to motor 1
Y to 2
Y to 3
Z to 4
Grab a motor, not connected to the machine, twist any two wires together.
Turn the motor shaft.
Undo the two twisted wires.
Turn the motor.
If it is less resistance to turning you have a motor pair.
If not, try a different wire pair.
At one point a pair of wires twisted together will make the motor harder to turn. Plug these into A- and A+. Plug the other two into B- and B+. Done.
If the motor turns the opposite direction as intended in the end, switch the two As OR the two Bs.
OK, that was the problem I am having with opposite turning. I found the pairs and wired them just as the manual said but all my motors go the opposite direction. My Z axis for instance, plunges where it should be lifted and lifts when it should be plunging to cut if that makes any sense.
Additionally, I have been having issues dragging gcode files into CP. Sometimes it says that the project cache is full and then the browser crashes. Does it with both chrome and firefox. Any thoughts?
Chrome- in Chilipeppr, go to the upper LH widget window. Click the folder button. Erase all previous jobs. Keep this folder empty when you can.
Reversing directions. You can go to the TinyG widget on the RH middle window and click the settings button. One window will have "normal"in it. Switch this to opposite (I believe is what it says)… This is the same as reversing one pair of stepper wires.
So I got everything working except the X axis. For whatever reason I don’t think the TinyG is communicating movement to Motor 1. When I jog the Y or Z axis there are 2 red light that flash and then green lights that light up on the board but for X the green lights don’t illuminate. Not sure if the socket on the board is bad or if something else is going on. Do you have any ideas? I have all the settings set the same as the others but Im getting nothing.
@Austen_Greene post us your TinyG dump.
I’m at work right now but I will when I get home. How do I get to the dump?
I haven’t figured out how to find the dump yet but I think for some reason the x motor is tied into the y motors even though they are wired separate and are identified correctly in TinyG I noticed the motor light for X on when I jog the Y axis so I went over and touched the coupling as i moved Y and could feel X motor energize. I have no clue what is going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Go to the serial port in CP(Chilipeppr), lower LH corner.
Type $$ in the window.
Copy everything below the $$.
