@ahwitmer said in Stepper definition Z motors:

It was somehow surprising to see that the temperatures measured by the NTC's were significantly different, although I used the same parameters as before. But that is a next step.

@droftarts

I think the question has to be moved to another section. It is not so much the wiring but rather the coding as I see it now.

However the M906 command did the trick.... I'm using excel for my config files, so I can use formulas for certain parameters. For some reason, the contents of the cell was replaced by a dot. therefore my config.g file was faulty.

Still amazing tot see my xyu motors were stepping 😉

I am using a double gantry therfore XYUV
I am using 4 Z motors
I am using 7 extruders

The Reprap config tool does not provide programming the double gantry, nor the 4 Zsteppers. The Reprap tool does allow 7 extruders, however M906 shows that the power definition is not accepted for all steppers. Only 3 steppers are accepted.

@Phaedrux Yes I will, thank you again!

@Phaedrux @dc42 I think it is best to close this thread. My board is found and updated.
I will open a new thread for other problems like homing.....

Not currently. The forum is the main source of reporting and support. Issues are troubleshot and reproduced as possible and then escalated as needed where they are reproduced, tracked, and hopefully resolved internally.

In the near future we hope to have a github issue tracker up and running, however it would still be required to use the forum to attempt to troubleshoot the reported issues before being tracked on github simply because 99% of the time it's a configuration issue or misperception of how something should work.

@ahwitmer In the meantime, can you email me a list showing which motor is connected to which driver on which board. E.g. X motor, main board, driver 0. V motor, expansion board 1,driver 2. etc..

Consider it reported.

I meant putting it all on the Single 24V Power supply will jeopardize that

Never mind, saw your edit ... thanks !

Dear Ian, thank you for your reply. Indeed you understand me correctly. My “cheaper” way out is to combine the two z steppers on one driver. For now I have no concerns over my the weigth of the bed plus built. I do foresee the use of heavier steppers for the uv gantridge and or perhaps the xy gantridge to improve speed.
Thank you again for your reply.
