Cant find one motor

Troubleshooting

Hi

I just started tinkering with the Maslow 4.1 and the it cant find one of the motors. I tried swapping the connectors back and fourth, trying different combinations but always the same result.

I have this red light going bananas on the control board. Could that be an issue?

Should I just order a new control board, hoping that helps or is there some other issue at hand?

Is it always the top left motor that isn’t found? Like if you plug in a different motor to that same top left port it always says that it can’t find the top left one?

Exactly, thats why i thought it might be the control board. What could the red light mean on the control board?

That red light just means that it cant find the motor so no new information there :grin:

I will DM you a code for a replacement controller board now, lets get one in the mail and then we can try to debug more.

Does anything look off about that motor’s connector?

If you jiggle that motor as the test is running does it behave any differently?

Hi

Thanks for the code! There is nothing strange with the connectors and the jiggeling doesnt change anything. I will change the control board and hopefully that will solve the issue. I will report back when i have gotten it!

I received the control board really fast and the machine is working as intended now.

Thank you so much for the help.
