Re: Fiber Optic to see Heartbeat light

I was going to stick an old USB webcam next to mine but never did. My Acorns learned how to behave & I never got around to it.

Re: Stepper Motor Not Working

Is that a Leadshine H860 or a clone there of? Try disconnecting the limits & resetting the wizard to match. Also disconnecting the ENA. I just had a similar problem with Leadshine DM542's I got from an Amazon seller. Finally had to send them back. The almost identical Longs Motor DM542A's I plug...
