I just got a new 3d printer, fired it up, tried to home but the limit switched had not been hooked up so it hit the end stop and started to ratchet. I hit the power button on the machine to stop it and got the limit switch corrected. but it no longer moves.
When I give it a command to move, any axis seems to kind of take the first step, but then only slightly pulses the motor. The software believes it is moving and I hear the steps in the electronics and the motors vibrate, but no movement.
I think it has a Megtronics v2 board, although I am currently ignorant.
I think it may have been damaged or blew some type of overload because of cutting the power while it was pounding the mechanical end of stroke.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can troubleshoot this?
I am waiting on tech support from the manufacturer, but it seems that this resource may have a better knowledge base.
I can check anything with a meter or report which lights are illuminated on the board if anyone has suggestions.
Any suggestions would be great, Thank for reading, Ken
