Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: motor runaway

Not the problem. Said in my original post that I switched the amphenol
connections (drive output and encoder inputs) from Y and Z. The problem
followed the Z motor so it has to be there. Think it has to be a encoder.
Waiting to hear from the guy I bought them from. Will probably switch
encoder soon to test.
