Wiring or settings issue? Stepper Motors not moving
-
PS do you have a jumper across the 5V_EN pins to enable the on board 5V regulator? Or are you providing 5V some other way?
-
Hi dc42 just checked that, yeah this is weird, my Multimeter says my Power supply is supplying 24V only, I've double checked that, nothing else should be connected to the thing. Let me check the voltage between the +3.3V and ground pins.
For the 5V_EN I only have the jumper (well i didn't do anyting to that, just what is shows me right ) on the Jumper INT 5v EN, and NOT the Jumper EXT 5V EN. Do I need one for that over there?

Here are the jumpers if it's what I think you are talking about:

Hi dc42, I decided to turn the PS voltage lower than it reads (20V) and it worked. the only problem now is that the motors just start right on startup and won't stop, and the BLtouch still flashes red and won't deploy. That's a start though. here's the new M122 === Diagnostics ===

Hi all, just wanted to provide an update and need some more help. Apparently my BLtouch is defective, despite only using it a couple of times on my Delta. It had the magnetic loss issue, so wouldn't retract anymore. So I will have to switch to a mechanical stop for now unfortunately. Thanks for all the help again.

A jumper across 5V INT EN only is correct.
As your multimeter confirms that the PSU was supplying 24V, I think the 3.3V rail (which is used as the reference for measuring VIN) must be low. Are any components on the Duet getting hot?
When you say that the motors start right on startup, do you mean as soon as you apply power, or when you press one of the Home buttons?
-
No none of them was getting hot, just a little warm.
About the motors, it was a config I borrowed from a friend, he had auto home set up. It's been fixed now. Thanks, now I just need to either get a new BLtouch or stick with mechanical endstop.
-
Please measure the 3.3V rail, I think you will find the voltage is low.
-
Unn which one is the 3.3V rail? xD
-
Measure between the 3V3 pin and ground pin of any endstop connector, or between the 3V3 pin and ground pin of the Z probe connector.
