Simon Fell > Its just code > SFX100 Build Log: Step 2, Motor / Drive Test
Tuesday, October 20, 2020
The 3D printer is still whirring along, few days left there. The motors and drives turned up, so I did a sanity test on all them to make sure there's no issues. This was straightforward enough, wiring the motor to the driver, plug the encoder cable in, and wire power to the driver. Use the jog function to check that the motor spins. The opensfx docs cover this well.
