Error Calibrating Motor Zero Current
« on: January 01, 2025, 10:50:26 PM »
Been installing a lot during the holidays and got an LM-3s installed in a Proto 2000 GP-7, sound works, front and rear lights work but the locomotive does not move forwards or backwards. I wanted first to determine if it was actually the locomotive so I disconnected my PWR-56 from the 24" piece of test track I have. I then removed the LM-3s from the 9 pin and 6 pin harness and brought out a regular DC transformer. Turned it on and set it at about 50% speed and touched the two wires to where the orange and grey harness wires connect to the motor and the locomotive moved. So I know it is not the motor but needed to see if there was a problem with the wiring harness. All my solder splices are sound and I have shrink tube over all splices. I inserted the two wires from the DC transformer to the 9 pin where it connects to the LM-3s 3 in from each side where the orange and grey wires attach and the locomotive motor moved so I know that the wire harness is good too. This narrows it down to either something in the LM-3s that is not working properly or something in my motor control settings that are not allowing current to go to the motor. Any suggestions I might try? I have not done the speed test yet as I usually first connect up the wire harness to the locomotive with sound (brown wires), the power in and the motor connections then connect up the lighting wires. When I check the "Information" section I get "Error Calibrating Motor Zero Current".  When I touch this part of the screen it suggests returning the module to Ring for Repair.
