I lost power to my CNC yesterday! At first I thought it was the power
supply, so I disconnected the motors from the board and found the
power stays on. I dug further and found that the only time the power
kicks out is when X is hooked up, so I wired the X motor to the Y
connections on the board and it stays powered up… which indicates that
it is the X controller on the board. I checked voltage through the
motor connections and found that there is 24v coming through the
connections where the blue and black X motor wires would go. The Y and
Z show much lower voltage at those connections, so I am assuming it is
the board. Is there anything I can do?
It has worked fine up until yesterday morning, I cut some small
engravings Saturday and everything worked great.
I emailed Xylotex yesterday... no reply yet
