Two different machines in lightburn

Can’t get my ortur rotary roller yrr 2.0 to work with my longer ray5 5w laser in lightburn. do I need to purchase a “longer ray5 rotary roller”

You have to give us more information about what doesn’t work.

Does the rotary move at all, the wrong direction?

The “ortur rotary roller yrr 2.0” just vibrate when given move commands. Im thinking, the “longer ray5 5w laser” and the “ortur rotary” are not compatible. I even brought a new “nema 17” stepper motor for the rotary and it does the same thing, it just vibrate no movement.

The longer ray5 has 3 black 1 red wires, and the rotary has red black blue green wires. I even connected the rotary up without using the extension cord that came with it and I get the same results… vibrate with no movement

These cables are usually generic.

These motors are generally two phase and only require you get the phases correct.

You’re going to have to check the phases on the motor, you can do this with an ohm meter.

Then how the phases are connected to the driver…

It should work, with the correct connections and settings.

Thank you… All that sounds good, but I don’t know how to that, and I have to an ohm meter. Is there a video step by step. I really don’t know what I’m doing. Thought I could just plug & play

I see the “y-axis” connecting cord on the engraver is 3 black 1red. And it works fine. When I disconnect the y-axis cord from the engraver and plug it directly into the “ortur rotary roller” stepper motor. It vibrate no turning. I’m completely lost. if the y-axis cord work fine on the engraver, why not the roller.

So everytime I wanna use the roller I have to change the wires around coming from my engravers stepper motor ?

Ok… Change the wires on the extension cord to match the wire alignment on the engraver connecter. ?

Follow this guide and change the two inner wires.

I got it … I took the cover off the mother board. Disconnected the y-axis from the motherboard. Then plugged the extension cord from the rotary into the y-axis on the motherboard…works just fine… YOU’RE THE GREATEST, THANK U SO MUCH.
