    G201x problem suspected

    I finally finished my CRP 4848 4'x4' nema 34 machine from cncrouterparts. However I am having issues and I believe I have tracked it down to one of the G201x drives. I had issues with the z axis not responding, however the motor did have holding torque. I tried different motors, on the z axis and had the same issue. I then moved the suspect G201x to a different axis, and position, on the PDMX-134 and the same problem occurred on the new axis and disappeared from the previous one.
    When the suspect G201x is not responding, I can see that the PDMX-126 is sending signals to it (LEDs on board) but the led on the 201x does not glow brighter, when receiving a signal, or flicker at the end of the movement like is typical.
    Does this look like a faulty g201x or am I missing something?

    I not familiar with any of your equipment but it certainly sounds like you've singled out that g201x as the problem. If you bought it from cncrouterparts I'd try reaching out to them. I've seen a lot of posts from Ahren on these forums and he seems really helpful.
