Re: my stepper motors are not stepping
color codes on stepper mean less that the word of a politician! Steppers are two coils, you need to find which two wire are connected as one coil. make it so pin 1 and 2 and one coil and pins 3 and 4...

yep..that is exactly what I did. I made sure of the coils by using the turning test. when I shorted the red and the blue, turning the motor was harder. hmmm

IS the order of the pins of the motors also the same for the Megatroincs V2 board? I am aware that is how they are supposed to be connected in V3 so I assumed it is also the case for v2.

QuoteTraumflug Looks like the steps/mm setting needs calibration. Yeah, I've fixed the problem. Now need to figure out how to tune the motors so they don't have a high pitched whine.

While I am printing I have to slow down the speed or the E axis "extruder" skips. Any ideas. I have adjusted the pot up and down but cant dial out the issue. here is a video of the motor skipping....

Seems like the pressure in the hotend is too much ? Can you turn the large gear easily by hand ? if it`s going very strong then the hotend is the issue. What setup is your printer ? (filament size,...

reprap i3 Filament = 3 Nozzle .50 printing with PLA temp is set to 185 I thought that the temp might be to low so I raised it to 230 but that had no effect.

I have also met this problem before. Try to adjust the motor speed to a lower value. Good luck.:)

Issue solved..was using 5V supply which was not enough to spin the motors :)

I'm experiencing the same problem and was about to try the things the OP suggests. Can anyone think of a way to narrow down if it's the stepper driver or the motor itself that is overheating?

Check here. The listing is for a different motor in the same family, but the spec sheet image includes a motor with the same model number.
