Re: Stepper sings, but wont walk....

Hehehe.... Well, actually I swapped *every* board including the CNC
boards. I didn't swap out the little board in the pendant because it
looks to be just for buttons and such and the button for the X axis
jog does work (or at least starts the X stepper singing). The
Stepper itself is also fine. I switched it to the Y axis circuit
and all is good there....so I guess I'm back to wires or low voltage
unless, as another poster mentioned, the machine is frying boards as
I install them ( which will be the end of the stock control for this
machine and a few more bucks headed Marris's way).

Many Thanks
Sean
