    Re: Mach3 Freezes

    Well, the drivers can support up to 8+ amps (stepperonline dm860t). The motors are rated 2.8A and each motor has it’s own driver. I have set the Amps to 3.03A per driver.

    The strange thing is that they do work perfectly if i just have the motors on the bench. They do get hot which is strange because the X-axis motor is connected to the gantry and stays cold. Both X and Y are the same motors and drivers with same settings.

    The driver should also work because on the bench it does work.

    As soon as i connect the motors to the gantry, the computer starts to freeze. I rechecked all connections but everything is okay. Even with new cables

    Check the Ground connections, on the bench you don't have to worry about Grounds so everything will run, mounted on the machine is different
