Interesting new problem.

When using my Syil super x3 this week I experienced a problem I haven’t encountered before.

In the middle of the program the X axis would stop moving even though it was registering on Mach that it was. I pulled the back of and watched the driver card and it was light was rapidly flashing but slightly dimmer than normal.

This would also happen in jog and the axis would move in the wrong direction when i jogged it back and forth sometimes. I could power the machine down and it would start working again.

I swapped cards and had the same problem. Finally in frustration I disconnected my 4th axis and tried it again. Since the 4th axis was removed it has worked flawlessly.

I am curious if for some reason my power supply isn’t capable to power all 4 drivers? Is this why they have gone to 2 power supplies in the X4?

Any ideas?

Can we switch driver cards? I wouldn’t mind upgrading to geckos or something for more reliability.
Why aren’t spare components sold on the website? Is there another website we could buy these?
