Re: Building my LitePlacer - seeking advice
My findings 1. motor does rotate freely 2. coil pairs match up with approx. 4Ohm resistance on each coil (red/black and blue/green) 3. resistance between different coils is not infinite but about 1.5MOhm (ie. red/blue) 4. switching Z and A axis outputs on tinyG proved that motor4 driver works as the...

Almost done...
