Hi,
I work at a school, and have built the MakeBlock XY plotter with the students and wired it up as per the instructions.
At the moment it is not being recognised on my PC as a USB device - I have installed the drivers, but mDraw does not recognise it, and neither does Windows.
In addition, there doesnt seem to be any power going the the boards connecting to the stepper motors as there are no lights on those boards - all the other boards (controlling the limit switches and the main board) have power lights on and the servo controlling the pen height moves when plugged into a USB device.
I have managed to connect it to my mac and it is being recognised, but it is not moving as there is seemingly no power to the motors.
Does anyone have any light they could shed on this issue? The students are itching to see what this machine can do
Thanks very much
