shorted to ground or layer shifts
-
About 10-15% of the times, when I home I get these errors and then the corresponding motor just starts to shudder when moving. The rest of the times, it works perfectly. And this seems to happen only at the time of homing. If the homing succeeds, the rest of the print works fine without this issue popping.
So I am gonna guess something this wrong with my config/homing but unable to figure out what.I have 3 different stepper motors
- Ender 3 stock X axis and Y axis stepper

With the stock stepper , these issues don't happen. The error pops only with the LDO steppers.
The stepper current seems to play a role as well.
For the 1A stepper, If i set the current at 1A , the error crops up every time at homing. If I dial it down to 900mA, the error shows up roughly 50% of the time and at 800mA the error doesn't show up but prints end up having layer shift. One thing I noticed with this stepper is , it seems to have some resonant noise when moving.
The 1.68 A stepper follows the same pattern with the error cropping up at proportionately higher current (like around 1.2A+) . I have double checked the wiring (the harness that it came with had the correct ordering, so pretty sure it is not the wiring). THis stepper does not have the resonant noise when moving and is almost as quiet as the stock ender 3 stepper.
