Finally I reached to the tuning of the potentiometers for the steppers, but I get really different values when measuring them as you see on the image. What can be the problem, where to check? Disclaimer: I'm noob at this area ;-) but trying to do my best.
I cant see from the photo but presumably you have a black wire plugged into the terminal the black probe is on yes? Do you other drivers all read 0 too? Also I think you may want to look at where the dial is on the volt meter, try the 2. Finally where are the leads plugged into the volt meter? If your not familiar with using one can you take a picture of it.
Oh also, you can test the volt meter by putting on the red probe on the red wire next to the black, it should read 24V (or really close to it) as I think that is right off the power supply.
Yes, I'm putting the black to the black point as you posted. I did the test with red-black and it shows on both left pairs 0.83 when the multimeter is set to DCV and 20 (2 decimals). I assume that is a totally bogus value of somehow....but that 0.83 is stable. I've a CEM DT-3900 multimeter and it was never used before. :-S
If you are not reading 24V you may bigger issues, I would start with checking the power supply. Check the other pair of red and black wires, it should be I identical Is the LCD lighting up?
It is identical, 0.83. too. Now getting another multimeter, since I measured a AAA battery and it shows weird numbers ;-)
I was lucky, the electrician guy was still in the building and we measured with his multi meter, 24V came up, so I tuned all the drivers into the given range, so problem solved, I just need to get a good multi meter. It is the better I think ;-) Thanks Miasmictruth for helping me out!
lol I don't think so for the big box at least just to set the steppers. On the other hand if you break a wire you might use it to check continuity or something, but it may still be able to preform that function.
