DETACHED: PhidgetStepper Phidget Bipolar Stepper Controller

Hey Everyone,

I recently purchased the 4 Axis X-Winder and have been attempting to run dry trails to ensure that the X-winder functions properly. I have gone through the set-up wizard and ensured everything is set-up correctly. Now the issue I am running into stems from when I open the X-Winder Executer software. The rotary, linear motors will connect without issue but the carriage and mandrel motor will "blink" and display this error.

Sometimes it's just the carriage motor and sometimes it's both. Whenever this error occurs I am unable to rotate said motors. Now I did the recommended thing and purchased a powered USB hub for the X-Winder however this has not solved the issue. Any advice would be great. Thank you in advance.

It's probably your USB hub. You need a USB hub that gets power from a wall socket or better yet plug all USB cables directly into your PC.

  The X-Winder came with a powered USB hub and each time I take a trial I ensure that it is being powered via the wall socket and not my laptop first.

  Nicholas D. Crowder Turner Hunt Is there a resolution to this? I am having the same problem. Was it really the USB hub?
