I have a Prusa i3. Below is my config.h file. My ramp 1.4 and Arduino mega 2560 is brand new straight out of the package as are my step sticks drivers. When I plug in my z motors into x, and y slot they work fine. z slot does not work at all when I plug x or y motors into z slot. When I swop the z step stick into either x and y both works perfectly. When i plug any combination into the z-axis slot I don’t get any activity.
I don’t hear humming, whistling, or any sound as if the motors are trying to engage when I try to move axis.
Please help if you have had this problem before. I’ve been trying everything I can think of over the last few days.
Thanks Makers,
Brien
