Topic: Possible wiring problems; need help

I wired my filastruder and went to turn it on. After flipping the first switch the heating board went on and the heating nozzle turned on. However, when flipping on the second switch a clicking sound appears and the stall protection board does not turn on. I then removed the motor from the auger and chassis. I turned the device on again and once again the clicking sound occurs and the stall protection board did not turn on.

I am just not sure what to do. I have triple checked the wires and they are in the right place. I even tried reversing the polarity of the motor and that did not work either.

If anyone can help that would be really appreciated.

Sounds like you have reversed polarity on the power being fed in to the stall protection board.

I checked the wires going into the stall protection board and they are as the directions describes. A wire is going in from pin 10 to IN - and then a wire is going from switch 2 to IN +. The other wires going into the stall protection board are the motor fan wires (IN), and the motor wires (OUT).

That doesn’t mean you got the polarity right, if you didn’t get it right coming out of the power supply. Use a multimeter to check.
