Problems with K8097 4Channel stepper driver

Hello community,
I recently built the K8097 Board. While testing i recognized that the motor on channel 2 and 4 were just shizzeling. I resoldered everything abd doublechecked the connections and it still doesnt work.
I tried the same motor on all 4 channels.
Sincerly

Did you try swapping the drivers from one channel to another?

If you can provide LINKS (e.g. by using a free online picture base) to HI-RES and SHARP pics of your assembly (both solder- and component side)
then we can take a look and provide some feedback.

Thanks i’ll try it :slight_smile:

Now its getting even worse. When i klick left in the software that comes with it, the motor on channel two turns randomly left or right, even with changed controllers. :frowning:

At first you said that the motors on channel 2 & 4 are just buzzing, correct?
The motors on channel 1 and 3, do they work correctly?
Are they the same motors?

Yes 1&3 works 2&4 Not/only sonetimes, all the same motors

So if the motors are identical and channels 1&3 work fine, then there must be an assembly problem with channels 2&4.
The drivers are not the problem, since you have swapped them.
