Hi, I just constructed the temp frame for the Maslow cnc. It’s taken me a while to build it because of space to build it and time I had to put into it.
It works great I am very happy with it. But the z axis does not move, I turned on the setting in ground control using the .87 version of firmware and ground control plus I have it plugged into port 2.
I feel that the motor is not getting current, so I don’t know if the problem is the motor, wire, or control board. I have made successful cuts manually moving the z axis.
Bar suggested I run a motor test and it worked. So every thing works. But still won’t move or make noise like it’s trying to move when trying to move z axis in ground control. Which makes me think it’s software, or a setting I’m not turning on. I did turn it on in the settings of ground control.
I’ll try to update the firmware and ground control.
I have updated the firmware and ground control from .87 to .88 that did the trick. I can now move z axis with ground control. Next step is to use the z axis in a cut.
If you mark the chain links where they should be when calibrated, you can do a
manual calibration and put in the proper numbers. This is significantly faster
to do.
If your sled moves to the correct location when you use the Action/Return-to-Center, you’re probably OK as is. Painting those ‘king links’ is a real timesaver, though
