I recently purchased a shapeoko and everything was going great until I started to run another batch of gcode and the z-axis was moving 4 times the desired distance.
Steps:
Reset 0 at lower left of my project
set UGS to move .25"
Pressed the Z+ and it moved up one inch. Not realizing this when I hit SEND it was a scramble to shut it down (Project is scrap)
Things tried:
- moved the X-Axis to the z-axis on the stepoko board to give me room to move the motor
- Reviewed the firmware setting (All correct) 40 steps/mm for XYZ axis
- Other values are matching for the XYZ axis
- Set dip switches to full step - Same issue, except it moves even farther
- $RST=* and then verified/reset all firmware settings
- Tried different PC thinking it may have been the UGS program - Same issue
- Changed the 40 steps/mm to 10 and it moves the correct amount
NOTE: Both the x and y move perfect
I ordered another stepoko board just in case (Next day air $$$) but other than the z-axis distance this board works fine. The z-axis moves the X-Motor smooth and with plenty of power it just seems that something is making it move 4X the distance.
Help please....
