Manually moving a stepper motor?

[JayWal]

Hi, I'm trying to do some troubleshooting, specifically trying to find out of my drivers or motion board is blown. Is there a way to manually move a stepper motor without using the motion control board? Or another way to test the drivers?

Drivers are KL5056, board is a Profi4

It will take another circuit board that supplies the pulses and the direction input for the drivers.
You can buy one or build using a Arduino or Raspberry Pi, may cost more the then a replacement BOB

I have had stepper drivers in the past that with the flick of a dipswitch would shuttle the motor back and forth a short distance for testing purposes. Not sure if your drives have that option but if you have the manual and it lists the dipswitch functions may be you will be in luck!

If some axis move, I'd swap a 5056 that works to the axis that doesn't. If you had an oscilloscope or digital logic probe you could use it to see the step and direction pulses.

None of my axis move theyre all showing green, no blinking red fault LEDs.

I ordered a Pokeyes57 board today, get rid of that cheap chinesium bob I bought for some reason
