oh also… perhpas this is the issue? im unsure how to perform this.

Second thing to check is that you have setup your machine limits. New machines require a factory reset. In the latest firmware that’s an M502 command.

yo DAn…

So i followed your advice, and now the motors are moving in the right direction after some tuning and reversing the motor wires…. thx!

of course now I have another problem… lol

I tried to then run a test print, but the motors just lowered the drawing rig continuously,
im guessing its because I dont have limit switches installed?

previously I built another makelangelo, but I used the older version of firmware.. from 2017 with a regular arduino board.. not sure which version that is.. but It had a “set home” button, and a calibration paper to set the home in the correct position.. there were no limit swiches then.. but it seems that this version (9.2.0) doesnt have a set home and works on the limit switches?

also as I looked through the tutorials, im a bit confused on how to hook the limit switches up and what exactly they do.. can you link me to the appropriate section that explains this? (i couldnt find it myself with my small brain)

thx dood.

ps.. another issue I had was if I moved the motors too fast, they would freeze for a moment.. im guessing this is because the output amps on my power supply is only 3a max.. I ordered a supply that outputs 5a..
