My Grizzly G0619 mill

Well as usual I no sooner get going on one project and life decided to say " na you're going to be working on this instead ". So I have to pause the work I was doing on the Pick N Place and now get back to working on the Mill.
I am waiting for some cabling and parts to arrive and I am working on the final layout for the electrics. That sure turned into more of a challenge then I expected. Plus I am back to work almost full time. I will be posting a video update later today.

I just got finished shooting video of the repairs to my stepper drivers. The Z axis was the most tricky
it turned out I had burned the 270 ohm resistor for the optoisolator the resistor had a value of
45-50Kohm yikes. Once I replaced that the driver worked fine. I had also purchased a new KL8060E.
Since I now have a spare stepper driver I will install it as well so if I want to use one in the future I
can drive a 4th axis.

Well editing took longer then expected. Is it just me or has the internet in general been
really slow today. I will have part 2 out later this week in the meantime here is part 1.

Watched it, nice.
But, the Z drive did not work, so check the opto again for soldering mishaps or cut vias.
Overvolting the opto will not destroy anything else, granted not exceeding the isolation voltage that is very high.

tommylight  I actually got the Z drive working. It turned out to be a cooked current limit resistor
inline with the optoisolator.( it specs at 270 ohm but it tested at 45-50 Kohm )
though I will admit I never used the ENA. circuit with the mach 3 controller so it is possible
that it never worked on the Z drive anyway.
In PT.2 I don't show myself actually doing the repair too simple and boring
Plus dealing with matters concerning hurricane Ian. LOL . I do however show that the drive is
once again operational.
