If it's buzzing, it probably is getting the signal to move, but can't. Since stepper motors themselves rarely go bad, I'd check for mechanical problems first; see if the axis in question moves freely when powered down.
Hi Guys
My Vinyl Cutter Roland PNC-5000 has recently all of a sudden just stopped moving.
The Stepper motor on the belt (cutting head) makes a buzzing noise whether there's a load on it or not which means the carriage doesn't move at all now. I'm hoping it's not a problem from the circuit board side.
does anyone know what might be the issue please? I've attached a video too.
Many Thanks
