Problem with all axis/motors (D3Mini+extension board)

@Maciek Thanks for the pictures. I can't see anything obvious straight away, so I'll wait until my colleagues have had a look too. One thing to clarify; were the boards working correctly before you moved house and it was unused for a year? And did it work initially after starting it up, or did it stop immediately with this problem after its year off?

The printer was working, printing. During one of the printouts suddenly the drives stopped working. At the time I did nothing about it because it was nearing the time of moving and I did not want to start it. Then everything slipped, and now that I finally have time I set about getting it up and running.
That is, there was a failure, the printer in such a state stood protected for a good few months.
After starting it up, basically after checking a few obvious things - whether there was a short somewhere, whether there was power, whether the fuse blew - I immediately wrote here.

If it is a UART issue then what is the prognosis?

Giving the board a blast with compressed air may dislodge anything that could be bridging a pin and causing a short. Worth a try.

@Phaedrux
I tried that at very begining. Even before writing here.

I ran many tests tonight.
I unplugged everything from the board and plugged it in one by one - I didn't notice that anything had an effect.
I see that the motors sometimes respond. Sometimes. They don't move in the correct way - for example, they just whirl. But a piece move by jumping.
I could not find the correlation. I unplugged and tried to check each one individually - on each it happens - either it does not work at all or works completely incorrectly.

Occasionally, from time to time, there is a message about a driver short circuit. But not every time. Happens with different drives.

Ok I know at least it's a D3m board issue. I borrowed duet mini from a friend. I plugged everything in and powered it up - it works as it should :/.
So for sure something with the board

Are you using the same mini2 board with the new mini5+?

Maciek

@Phaedrux

Yes its same board.

Are there any measurement points on the board where I can check if everything is OK?

Phaedrux

@domzduzt I think you should start a new thread and give some more information.
