Motors not at idle on swich on

Just had reason to totally rebuild my WorkBee but electronics/wiring not changed.

I am convinced that previously as soon as I switched on the 24V PSU all the motors were at idle mode, wether connected to the PC or not. Now they are all unpowered until I jog or Home, then they rest at idle as I would expect.

Was running version 1.0.7.3, issue as above. Upgraded to latest 3.3.3 same issue. It is not really a problem just that I am sure this is now different after the rebuild.

Can anyone confirm this behaviour ?

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your message.

When you turn your machine on, the motors will be idle.

They will not lock until you home or jog the machine.

Thanks Robert, must have been my imagination that the motors lock up when the 24v is switched on.
