so that was not problem ..

i still think maybe drivers send low power but ?

left was 0.61  right 0.65

i guess it was ok .. but why wont move   nano board work ok

 

 

Hi,  It seems a lot of things are going on all at once so better debug it systematically.

From the last message I see that the position is 4.00 (pull off is 4 mm) and the limits are triggered.

Have you tried to put the gantry in then middle of the work area and read out the limit switch statuses? If the limits are triggered then you might need to invert the limit switches ($5).

What version of K40 are you using (Ribbon or non-ribbon cable version)?

If you unlock, the motors still don't turn when you give command? (move arrows in LightBurn)

Ok let's see what your answers are so we can pin point it better

ribbon

vref for drivers are same 4.69 v  on screw 0.6 and 0.65

on psu wire it's 19.6 v

i think this msg is from middle

<Alarm|MPos:-480.000,-480.000,480.000,0.000,0.000|Bf:15,253|FS:0,0|WCO:0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000>
ok

did it again it show 4 not 480  for all 3 and rest is same

when i $x i press move left right it just say stream complete ok nothing move ..

so he get 5v not 20v

first pin is 24v from usb  i look again and it is and 4th from right  again usb side on psu

dont understand where it loose power

 

 

anyone know what to do ?

Hi, basically you established the issue being no power being delivered to the board. Now it is methodically stepping thru the various points with a multi-meter (volt) and measuring each till you find zero volts.

Starting at the connector on the board. After that you can measure on both sides of the PTC fuse on the board F2 and the step stick driver it self. See attached images for the location of the measuring point.
