Laserbot Steppermotors or fan dosent work but laser & microswitch do you think the motor driver board is wrong that has been supplyed


#1

Just built the laserbot and having trouble with motors. Downloaded the firmware from laserbot program to board but not movement from stepper motors or fan. Laser works fine so does the micro switches. But no movement at all with the fan & motors. Checked the wiring and all ok. Appreciate if can help.

Thanks

Are you sure you have connected them to the correct ports on MegaPi?

Did you turn the power switch on? The laser and micro switches work regardless of the power switch on or off.
