What if its the drive, not the board? Dont be in a rush to buy

[ravihotwok]

Right chaps, im down the workshop armed with a multi meter. Can you direct me on what to do now lol

[ravihotwok]

There is something defo wrong with this board, Ive tried other cables etc and same result. Had the multimeter out and found the following out.

when you apply a jog to the y axis, all 4 pins outs (2 yellow and 2 red) rise to 12.9v and hold

When you do the x it rises to 13 then nothing except one stays on 26???

So I think this was the problem with my box.
