| + | [title] Motors driver adjustment |
|---|---|
| + | [* 2] On each motor driver there is a voltage adjustment dial. NEVER turn the dial while power is connected or you will kill the driver. |
| + | [* 6] In the bottom right corner is the GND pin. |
| + | [* 1] A multimeter can measure the RMS current between these two pins. Ideally the RMS Current = Peak Current x 0.707. For a 0.3a stepper motor the RMS current would be 0.21 |
| + | [* 1] Measure the RMS current; turn off power; turn the dial 5-10 degrees. Repeat until the RMS current is correct. |
| + | [* 1] Test your machine again to ensure smooth moving motors that do not get very hot. (they will still be warm to the touch.) |
