I have a motor attached to the first driver. Just running "G0 X10" works fine.
The problem starts when I try to use the A axis. I run "$1ma=3" first to set the motor to use the A axis.
I want to rotate my motor 360 degrees. I think "G0 A360" is supposed to move the motor this way, but mine does one REALLY quick motion (maybe 30 degrees), and then stops, and I'm not able to send any more commands. I've been resetting it once this happens.
I tried running "G1 F1 A1", which gets it to turn extremely slowly (maybe 1 revolution / 20 seconds), and I'm not sure how long it goes for (I waited 5 minutes and turned it off).
I haven't changed any other settings from the factory default. Am I missing something? Do I need to set something else up before moving the A axis?
