I have had the same problem a few times already. I mostly get this problem after I do a hard shut down (pull the power plug) while running a G-Code (i.e. because I ran into an end stop or the stepper made wired nosies)
I connect via Pronterface and try to move the y-axis (its always the same axis). The stepper makes a sound like it would be moving but the axis doesnt move at all. I then shut down the power supply and switch the cables for the x-axis and y-axis motor. So now the y-axis runs via the x-driver and visa versa. I initally did so because I wanted to find out if the driver or the stepper is broken but both motors will run without problems. I then switch the cables again so that motors and drivers match each other again. After I connect everything is back to normal.
Can someone please explain what is happening? Should I exchange the y-axis stepper or driver? Did someone else experience the same problems?
