By default the motor current is set for Nema23, 2.8A motors - verify your motor max current and adjust the current settings if needed. Your motors should run warm to the touch, but not hot
Warning: Never connect/disconnect motors to a powered-up controller. Always turn off power before connecting/disconnecting accessories to/from your xPro
- How to: verify coil wires
- Simple verification of 4 wire stepper motors:
- Using a multi-meter, resistance Set the Ohmmeter to the lowest resistance scale.
- Attach one of the wires to the meter and, in turn, check each of the remaining three
- Mark the wire that gave a reading and mark the first wire you started with (coil A)
- The remaining two wires will be coil B
- Connect stepper motor wires to the supplied 3.81mm connectors and plug in to the corresponding receptacles on the xPro-V5
NOTE: the color codes shown may not apply to your particular Motors; also, depending on your machine configuration, switching the polarity of either (one) coil(1) may be required to change the stepper's direction.
