Hi
I've recently started trying to upload my software onto my reprap etc..
Before doing this I used the RAMPS 1.4 test code. At first both my extruder and z axis worked properly (up and down) however my X and Y just seemed to vibrate.
I've adjusted the pots and all this seemed to do was to make the vibrating more/less violent.
I've since switched the drivers around to test whether it wad the actual stepper motor or drivers that was the problem, and have successfully got the X and Y axis to move by using the drivers that worked on the Z and E. However... By doing so, I believe I may have fried the other two stepper drivers. I couldn't help but notice my connections were slightly loose and now my problem is the following.
When I start the test code, all axis and E just vibrate and all of their corresponding stepper drivers get VERY hot.
Have I fried these drivers? Would loose connectione have caused this problem? Or does the vibration suggest there is still life?
Otherwise it appears I might have to change my name to 'The Chef'
Any help is appreciated
Tom
