Topic: BAD stepper ???(solved)

OK folks this weekend in my spare time decided t upgrade the FT I3 a bit . I have ha a titan on it with an E#D v6 and I have an aero that has ben siting so added the aero a new heater block heater , therisistor , nozzle  silcica skin and last but not least a bit smaller motor.
One of these

the motor just clicks. when I turn the gear wheel I feel no binding . the motor ohm out fine like about 6 ohms per coil. This is through the cabling.
switching  to the x axis it still pretty much  just clicks and makes noise . also adjusting the v ref does no good changes the volume e that is about it.



So when I have time I will put the old motor back on and talk to the vendor.
from what I understand motor failures are rare and I have never had an out of box failure on one . but that seems to be the case.
Hmmm



Any suggestions welcome . As you guys know I am not a newby and I troubleshoot electronics for a living .

Re: BAD stepper ???(solved)

An update replaced the motor with the old one . then rehomed the new one being more carful of probe placement.

Lesson leared do not place one probe between the 2 middle ins.

Turns out the two center wires are switched and easy fix.
