Blue spark from motor pin
-
Hi I was testing out my motor when I heard a buzzing sound and a blue spark from one of my pin from the motor. May I know what could be causing this? Sorry this is my first time using a Duet2 Wifi.
I set my motor current in my config file to be 1500 mA. The rated current for my motor is 2A -
was the motor working correctly?
most likely a wiring issue.
did you wire the phases correctly? -
Yeah it was working fine. It's just that there was a sudden blue spark. Yeah the phases are wired correctly. I checked the connectivity with a multimeter

this could for example be causes by bad crimps
-
Yes, most likely a bad connection where the spark was.

Definitely check your wiring closely before trying to use the motor again. With the power disconnected swap one of the other motors that was working properly over to that driver to test if the driver is still working.
