Hi all,

I am very new into the CNC. I have building my machine for few months now. Finally got computer system ready (was not easy to find the Parallel PCI...). Plugged everything in and was finally working.

System so far runs with GECKO 540 and MACH 3 trial, with respective xml file. When testing, some of the times, the randomly any of steppers would turn always to same direction when using JOG buttons. If I would switch it everything off then on, they would go back to normal. While I was preparing ruler to calibrate it all, Y axis was humming louder than X and Z, and getting much warmer even idle.

Then got the red light on Gecko Board. After I switched off and let stepper cool down, I started again. Now no movement in any of the axis, they still lock though. Have I burnt the Driver? Any guide on how to check so or troubleshoot before I have to send it half world through for repair or buy a new one?

Thank you

Enric
