Stepper driver warning: OTPW flag set
Hi All,
I have been getting this warning for stepper_z1 and stepper_z2 pop up anytime I activate my Z-motors.
"Stepper driver warning: OTPW flag set
The stepper driver 'stepper_z1' has triggered the OTPW flag and may stop working if it gets any hotter. This is an indication of an over temperature condition. This can be caused by a too high current. Please check the stepper driver settings and cooling."
I am still in the commissioning stage of the build, so haven't printed anything yet, but am concerned for when I do start printing. When I first installed RatOS 2.0.1 I did not get this error. I have since updated to RatOS v2.1.0, and have everything up to date. I thought it might be because originally I had to remove the electronics enclosure panel so I could hook my pi into ethernet, and thus reduced the cooling of the stepper drivers, but have since routed the ethernet cable inside the printer and still getting the errors with the panel on.
Any thoughts on how to fix? I don't know how to change the current of the steppers.
