Y axis stalling

[blackburn mark]

Irving this is a TB based pile of rubbish board and it will die if so much has looked at in a funny manner so ya can bet ye last dollar it will DIE even in halted state with the slightest spike. . . . Rich it will 100% DIE if steppers powered up and you unplug. . . Just turn it off it's honestly not worth the risk for the 20 seconds you'll save.!!

I run a 5 axis TB china job and plug/unplug the 4th axis stepper all the time (as irving describes,,, in standby... nothing going to motors)

iv earned a quid or two on that "TB based pile of rubbish board" so don't be to disheartened richie00boy

I must admit though, I am tempted from time to time to bin it and splash out on something slightly more robust.... on a 5+hour run its lost enough steps to have a measurable error from the origin (0.2mm ish)

Didn't actually say couldn't do what Irving said just not a good Idea with a cheap TB based board.!
I wasn't actually meaning to dishearten anybody so If I did Rich then sorry but at same time not going to say these boards are good because they are not. (0.2mm over 5 days would upset me.!!)
They are very flaky and while mark gets away with it doesn't mean you will. This board, has will most other drives, will 100% fry if you accidentally unplug while steppers are powered up and given your new to CNC then for safety and your wallets sake that's why I say turn it off.
