The green lights are on this external driver, which I assume means it’s receiving power to supply the motor. I initially had a bad config but it’s now:
alpha_step_pin 2.0o # Pin for alpha stepper step signal
alpha_dir_pin 0.5o # Pin for alpha stepper direction, add ‘!’ to reverse direction
alpha_en_pin 0.4o # Pin for alpha enable pin
alpha_current 1.5 # X stepper motor current
alpha_max_rate 30000.0 # Maximum rate in mm/min
The 5v is sourced from one of the limit switch pins and I’ve confirmed it’s present at all the terminals. I’ve confirmed that the dupont header for dir/en/pul has continuity.
I double checked the motor wiring, the cable hasn’t been confirmed yet, but that seems unlikely.
When I try and move the X axis using the touch screen nothing happens other than one of the LEDs blinking off and then back on.
