Alarm 6 and steppers stuttering and wont move. Bad steppers?

hello
i havent used my 3018 in a while and am wondering what im doing wrong. i’m all set up wit grbl and lightburn 1.7.03 I power up and it begins to home motors just stuttuer terribly and wont move.however if I run under focus test the hardware seems fine. thank you

Probably the homing speed is much too high, so the motors can’t keep up with the pulses.

Reduce $24 (and maybe $25) by a factor of ten and see if that improves the results.

The maximum speeds & accelerations may be too high for the machine. Make sure $110-111 and $120-121 makes sense and reduce them as needed.

thank you i’ll try it

hey thanks that got me real close and then i slowed down the rate on the final step and ran an actual size nearly perfect wood laser burn. !!! i appreciate you. Jeff

Given that you haven’t used the machine in a while, it’s time for a good clean & lube. When everything is moving freely again, you can re-tune the acceleration & speeds for better performance …
