Re: Nema 17 - vibrate, spin both sides in pronterface
WOOOW, nice, I tried it, now I have connected 4 wires, one half and it does exactly what it should do in Pronterface, so now how to connect the rest 4 wires ? Should I put the rest with with working...

Ok, I tested second 4 wires and they are not working correctly, the first 4 wires are ok. On the second 4 wires I tested every possible variation, but it turns unpredictable.

So many many testing :) now I have 2 pairs working (2x 4wires)

According to the initial numbering, say which wires you tested and worked and which didnt. Will figure it out from there.

Ok so I tested A1 A2 and C1 C2, then I tried changing of positions on pins till I have correct move. Then I did the same with B1 B2 and D1 D2. Both of them, you call it coils I think are moving to the...

So now I just connect cables on same pins and its done ?

Ok, so I put them together and it works perfectly. Thank you very much for your time Noobman, it was very helpful. Thanks.

Yes the A1-A2 for example i called that "half" coil because it needs to be in series with another one, like B1-B2, and together they would form something of a "full" coil. Glad to hear it works, btw...

It was luck that I pick the first combination, I wanted to give it up :) The right combination were A1 A2 and B1 B2, on the board A1 B2 A2 B1. Same at other one. I have read many times what you wrote...

If the driver pot is set for low current, you should be safe testing, with care to avoid driver shorts and such. I am under the impression that you are using half coils e.g. have not combined halves...

I agree with tjb1. Make sure that each coil is paired on the letter not the number. If you have ramps 1.4, one coil goes on 1A and 2A NOT 1A and 1B. That was my mistake.

I use motors that are similarly rated to those, on an over-sized MendelMax with 10mm rods, which means an X axis that is a fair bit heavier than most. I run my Z axis motors in parallel, with a Vref...
