    Powers down!!!

    I have the Xylotex 3 axis kit. It has been working fine until this morning.

    My newest problem- No Power!
    I started it up this morning, it was fine for a few minutes then it shut down. When I unplug the power for a few seconds and plug it back in it powers up for a fraction of a second then turns off again.
    It has been running great up until now, I ran some small engravings with Mach2 (just playing around). I switched to Mach3 last night, and was working out problems with the limit switch being falsely tripped. This morning I checked some settings suggested by Art on the Machsupport online forum (link below) and the power turned off... I had changed no settings. Please help... again

    Check and double check all you're wiring. When you power it up for that brief moment, do the motors lock up?

    None of the settings in Mach3 can damage you're Xylotex.

    All tight

    I checked everything... still the same
    The motors do lock right before it shuts down. What other info would be helpful (I am the electronic idiot from last week that you helped with the limit switch problems... got that resolved).

    I'd email Jeff at Xylotex and see what he says. support@xylotex.com

    driver board

    It's the driver board. I get 24v through the terminals where the blue and black wires go. I emailed Xylotex this morning.
    Any idea what I could do? Or what caused it?
