Help with a usb BOB Spindle problems

[Doddy]

It's the next logical step. Or the first one, depending how cold your workshop is!

Clear out the spiders and clean up the commutator, de-grease and get rid of any carbon on the inner casement.

What better way of spending the new year!


The idea of testing with a bulb (or any other load) is to isolate the fault to the motor.

Will still try that when i can find a proper load for it but for now the motor seems fine, ran smooth without any problem on my bench supply. Still can't really figure out whats causing the motor controller to try move the spindle as soon as it gets power, i'm assuming thats what's tripping the breaker in the cabinet

How's the Lenze "Controller Enable" input wired?

i tried changing that too, normally the two pins are just jumpered with a small wire, i tried putting them between a relay but still popped the stop circuit as soon as the machine was turned on, starting to suspect i killed the isolator board and its just stuck somewhere its trying to spool up as soon as its powered
