Finished setting up and configuring CNC shield SP6. Before installing it in the base, I tested it but the motor does not turn at all. I can hear is hum when I put it to my ear and can hear the pitch change when turning the pot on the driver.
I have tried several different jumper positions for the "direction and speed"
jumper block as is show in the picture (page 9 of the updated motor controller doc) I have attached a picture of my board showing just one of the many combinations I tried, FYI I removed the jumper on the left middle after taking this pic.
Also, the motor I have wiring colors are different than are on the instructions. Where the instructions show black, green, blue. red. the cable on my motor is black, green, red, blue. I tried switching the red. blue wires but nothing changed, Not sure if that is the problem or not.
Can you help me find what is wrong? Thank you
Good morning Steve: I measured the wiring and that pin 1 and 2 are connected. Pins 3 and 4 are connected. I also checked for continuity from connector to connector. All good. Then something dawned on me. What voltage power supply is needed? Throughout the instructions 5V is mentioned, however doesn't a nema 17 stepper require 12V?
