Hi there,
Recently I bought a piece of lighting equipment from a company in America. I have had problems with one of the units I bought that seem to be a bit of a one off, and I have sent the unit off for another problem previously, which they fixed, but it would be a pain to send it back to them again, (I'm in Australia) so I would rather not. So, here is the problem.
One of the stepper motors that controls the tilt of a mirror is slowly moving to the next step (it has some sort of micro step function) but as soon as it reaches the point, it springs right back to the step it started at, thus making the pattern it emits jerky. I have reset the unit multiple times, without success.
This is what it looks like:
(Step 1) (->) (->) (->) (->) (->) (->) (->) (->) (->) (Almost at step 2) (Spring back to step 1) (->) (->) (->) (->) (->) etc...etc...
Would this be a problem with the drivers in the unit, or the motor itself? How could I possibly fix it?
I can also upload a video of the problem if you would like.
Thanks,
Jono
