Toolboard extruder motor doing toc-toc noise and not moving

[kuon]

I am building an idex printer and I used two tool boards, one for each tool.

I am testing my setup, and I have one extruder motor working normally, but the other one is doing some "toc-toc" noises and do not move at all.

Here is my config:

Is there anything amiss in my config? My motors are 1.4A rated, 0.9°.

If my config is OK, is it the toolboard or the motor that is malfunctioning?

[Veti]

if you swap the motors and wiring with the working one does the problem persist on the board?

@kuon said in Toolboard extruder motor doing toc-toc noise and not moving:

M350 X16 Z16 Y16 Z16 E16:16 I1

You are defineind Z twice but not U

[kuon]

@Veti Yeah, I just fixed the M350, I was testing things and messed up. Thanks for catching that.

As for my problem, I didn't think of it at first (didn't sleep yet), but I tested my motor with another drive from the mainboard and another cable, and it is not working either, same toc toc noise, so I will replace it and see how it goes.

[Veti]

check the phases of that motor. sometimes the pinout can be different even on the same batch of motors.

[kuon]

@Veti Ok I did check the phases before in pair (A+ with A- and B+ with B-) and I had values of about 2ohm, but then I tried different pairs that should have no continuity, and there is about 1mOhm between A+ and B+, so I guess there must be some slight short (there is no continuity at all on my other motor). I guess it's the motor's fault. I will get it replaced by tomorrow and update this post.

[kuon]

I just got the new motor and it works fine, so it was the motor.
