Servo makes ratcheting sound but does not move
-
@Zax If you're asking me, I use EleksCAM, not T2Laser. Also, I've set the slider as low as zero + 1 pixel, with no difference.
-
EleksCAM will upgrade in few days , including add SVG carving and servo num input function~

@EleksMaker-Z I have the new software. I found the location to choose the machine (EleksDraw) and how to set the servo mode. I set both of those. I also went in and did Rst ROM (which I assume means reset the rom) I did that too and it completed successfully.
I even turned down the laser power to 35 just in case that still mattered.
STILL DOESN'T WORK.
Servo immediately hits the upper limit and just makes ratcheting noise. It then has to be pushed back down manually since it gets stuck up there.
Also noticed that single stepping X+ and X- move diagonally, and Y+ and Y- just "shudder". I tried the "reverse X" and "reverse Y" options (all four configurations) and it makes no difference. I have the servo and steppers plugged in as shown on the picture on this site.
There's another thread that says that it needs different firmware, but didn't say where that firmware was or how to install it.
Also, you have "Pulse" spelled incorrectly in the new software ("Pluse").
This is getting pretty frustrating. And it looks like I'm not the only person having these problems.

@sstouk Thanks! Tried 10% and every other % without any luck.
-
I think its in this thread
-
@nottingham82 Nope! Tried that and it didn't help.

@heedaf
Maybe.....that servo is broken.......
-
@EleksMaker-Z - Tried a 2nd servo and has the same problem. I'm guessing there is something wrong with the software/firmware.
-
@EleksMaker-Z Nope. Not for me either. I have a servo tester. It's fine. You've got two people in this thread experiencing exactly the same problem. Also, I haven't received a reply concerning my questions above.

@Fracture now work your servo?
