    3 axis CNC controller kit 3 NEMA17 78 oz-in stepper motor + 3 axis CNC board

    Hi
    I have just built mi first cnc milling machine
    Using:
    Wholesale 3 axis CNC controller kit 3 NEMA17 78 oz in stepper motor + 3 axis CNC board
    and Mach3 SW
    It seams that everithing is working fine, but i'm getting the following error:

    When i press the up key the controller turns on the led for the Y and Z motors, bloking the z motor util i press the down key!!!!

    I'm also getting a few (to many) times the following error:

    Driver Watchdog triggered

    What does it mean?

    Tested again with Kcam SW
    Same problem
    when i send a signal on the pin 5 (Ydir) the z motor turns on and blocks the z motor. when i cancel the signal on the pin 5, it all returns to normal!!!

    Check your wiring to make sure they're not shorted together.

    Solved

    I have brushed the board and it seams that something tiny was shorting something.
    now it runs ok

    Thanks for your help
