Hello All! I am nearing the final stages of the SP6 build and have hit a brick wall on the CNC Shield/Stepper Motor Front. For some reason, when I put the jumper into the left most position of the 8-Pin "Speed/Direction" array at the top of the CNC Shield V4 board, instead of reversing the direction of the stepper motor, it stops it completely. Could this be the result of some faulty soldering I did to modify the board? I tried re-flashing the Arduino Nano and that didn't fix the issue. I've also tried other jumpers to make sure it wasn't an issue with the component. My only other thought was a possible issue with the motor/wiring harness itself? I did have to do the ol' switcheroo on the motor harness cables (blue/green swap). As always, thanks a ton for anyone's insights into this issue! I have a spare CNC Shield Board, so I could always try a redo on that one.

Hello All! I’m stumped. I have my clock assembled snd I’ve checked all bearings/pinions for friction. Pendulum is good to go. It seems there is some issue between Gear 1 and Gear 2. Left alone, the bottom segment of Gear 1 will not move Gear 2 to set the gear train in motion. If I manually apply force to gear two, it works fine. Before I do a tear down and detailed troubleshoot, was wondering if anyone else had this issue? TIA!
