Twitching E axis motor
June 15, 2014 03:33PM
I have almost finished a Prusa type machine. Running Sprinter on a Ramps V1.4 board. All is very well, X, Y & Z axis calibrating nicely; hot end and thermistor working correctly. The only problem was that the E axis motor made quite a lod noise and vibrated quite a bit when powered. It turned out the the wiring was incorrect. With the wiring fixed the motor just twitches when powered. I have swapped it out with the X axis and the motor runs fine, X twitches when run on E stepper driver. Swapping the drivers made no difference. Changing firmware and Printerface settings made no difference.

How do I remap the Ramps board to use the second extruder motor control?

Many Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Would you know how to change pin mappings?

Cheers

Worked out the pin.h. made no difference. However I removed the 3 jumpers from below the driver board and wecare off, working well.
