Hi all,
I have a automation technologies 3 axis kit (though its on a lathe right now so just 2 axis) This includes the kl 4030 drivers, a 36v 8.8 amp power supply and 287oz/in 3amp steppers
I seem to be able to stall the motors easily so I checked the amperage with a meter running from the power supply to one of the 4030s. Even though I have the switches in the right settings I never see more than 1 amp on the meter. If I stall the motors with my hand I only see 1 amp at the stall.
My question is: shouldn't I see close to 3 amps at the stall?
Maybe I am doing this all wrong? Mach3 is my machine controller. Is there any other setting that would help?
Thanks in advance
Kev
