Topic: Freelss motor not enabling.
Hey guys, I built a frankenstien piclop printing up parts and using bolts and all kings of things. I got it all together and working, kinda. For some reason the motor enable is not going high.
I have been thru everything I can think of and cant get it to go. I have read up on the wiringpi pinout and how it translates to the raspberry pi pin numbers.
I have the pin number in the setup for motor enable set to 0, which is IO17 on my pi breakout board. I have tested with both my logic probe and my DSO quad scope and the pin never goes high. I click on the camera button and then click on the rotate button, the step pin pulses like it should, but since the motor is not enabled it doesnt rotate.
I also tested by running GPIO to manually set the pins and that works to at least get the pin to go high.
sudo gpio mode 0 out
sudo gpio write 0 1
pin 0/IO17 goes high.
I also tried another free pin and it didnt work either tho I was able to make it go high with GPIO
Any idea what could be going wrong?
