Left my machine on overnight and it looks like the driver for the z axis motor went caput. Unless there is a trick for reviving it I was going to see about howto replace it. Anyone have a link to the GRBL board to get a replacement?
Was able to verify its the board and not the motor by switching the x and z lines. The z axis motor initiallizes when plugged into the x axis and the x-axis motor then does not respond or humm. I imagine that means I overheated the GRBL pbc. (almost hoped it was the motor since they can be amazon primed ha)
is there any other long term running damage I should be worried about? Apart from keeping the machine from running over night what else can I do to keep the board from frying next time? Looking at probably getting a fan for it. (is there a way to attach a cooling fan to the GRBL and power it there?)
