It is not homing or moving at all. Laser does fire when turning on.
I did put original board back and worked fine. I just cant use lightburn. When i put the upgraded board back it does not move. Lightburn does the detect the board when I click find laser.
The only common area between the two board should only be the wiring and how it’s configured…
Did you purchase this as a k40 replacement or some other controller? Most of these are configured for a K40, so it would seem to be a wiring difference of some type…
Is there any wires you need to hook up separately, that are not part of connector for plug and play… such as the lps… or other power supplies…?
If the stepper motors hum or Buzz instead of moving, the two coils that make the stepper motor move may be connected incorrectly.
If the stepper motors don’t move, what were the conditions that caused the Hard Limit to be Triggered? Did you move the engrave head to the switch?
Limit switches being configured differently in the controller and triggered full-time can also cause the controller to not home.
With your engraver powered up and LightBurn connected, after the error messages, after the word ‘ok’ from the controller, open the console window in LightBurn and type the following:
?
then press enter.
Please select and copy the Status Report from the Console window in LightBurn and paste it into a reply here.
This should show the current status of your limit switches.
There are four small adjusters for ‘current’ on the Monport Controller next to the stepper motor drivers. You’ll need a volt meter and you’ll need to know more about the stepper motors if that’s the next step.
You may want to deactivate the High Voltage so you can’t be harmed while making these adjustments.
Do you have black boxes external to the Monport controller to drive the Stepper motors or do the motors wire directly to the board?
There are some very tiny cross shaped adjusters between the heat sink and the center-line of the board. A lack of power through the stepper motor driver could cause the engraver to not move.
I found another picture that showed the connections to my type 1 power supply. It now moves. I had two cables backwards. But now, laser fires the second it is turned on. Have not had a sec to play with it but will tomorrow. Any ideas? Thank you
Hi,coromi52 I’m having the same problem as you with no movement. I’m not sure my wiring is correct ? Could you post or send me the picture of the wiring on the type 1 power supply please .
