So this morning I fired up the mill and noticed my X axis wasn't moving very smoothly. I started wiggling the connections on my wiring harness (of course I didn't turn the damned thing off first) and a wire came loose and popped a great big red spark.

Now I've got no X axis.... Y ans Z move just fine, but X doesn't even attempt it. I switched wires to a different stepper and the stepper doesn't seem to be the problem.

I would try to contact the controller manufacturer to see what they can tell me, but I can't seem to find who makes it!

Here's a pic.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

Thanks

Hi there,

That looks like a 3 axis Xylotex board to me.
