devmgmt.msc

 to open the Device Management.

··

·

). If the driver hasn't been installed successfully, 

you will see a question mark or an exclamatory mark.   

 

 
Q2. How to adjust the torque and the current of the stepper motor? (Issues that 
may occur when the torque and the current are not correct: step losing, abnormal 
noise, timing belt fails to move, abnormal drawing, etc) 
 
A: If you find the output torque of the stepper motor being inadequate, try to: Use 
the cross screwdriver and turn the current-limiting button gently to the + direction 
to increase the torque value of the stepper motor. To be more specific, use the cross 
screwdriver to turn clockwise the button until you feel the obvious increase of the 
resistance, then turn the button back for about 5%.
