The above motors are running fine in one direction, however when movement in the opposite direction is attempted, they get stuck for a few steps and then show some erratic movement. Sometimes they dont move at all and just hear the motors crying. I have checked it with the bare motors also(withou…

If the motors turn one way, then something is right. As they don’t the other way even when not fitted to the microscope, then it is not because a linkage is stuck. The direction of movememt is given by a sequence if pulses on the four data lines from the arduino to the motor drivers. I cannot think …

Yes the X axis motor is fine.Now I interchanged the x and z ,the z axis motor becomes very obedient…it’s working perfect…but the other motor doesn’t…so as a follow up…I replaced the z axis motor driver…but it still has the same problem… Is it then the nano?

Sorry…for the delayed response. Was occupied in the COVID duties. I switched the pins of X and Y motors on the nano too. But the results are same. The nano also seems fine. I have reprinted all the gears and tried with them also, but with same results. What Should be my next step? Is there a pr…

Hi Muralig1984, Is your problem solved? If no, do you use an original nano, or a clone. I have tried 2 clones, and both doen’t work properly. I have tested that with a simple sketch to lighten leds on and off with the motorpins that not worked properly. Maybe somting to try

Thanks @jvm for the interest… I did two things and I don’t know which one worked or may be both 1)I separated the power supply of each motor…means the leads of each motor not in contiguous fashion on the same breadboard…instead I fixed at multiple points on the power supply module 2)The software …

Hi Muralig 1984, With the focus on z-axis I can’t help you. Not enough experience.

Is it then similar to Y axis movement not smooth ? That turned out to be one of the output pins on the nano.
