My X axis motor makes knocking noise

My X axis motor makes a rhythmic knocking noise while powered on, are some settings to high and how can I change them in the firmware?

    Your current might be set too high if it moves otherwise. There is a poti on the stepper driver to set current, some boards can set it software side.

    I don't believe the Mega 2650 board has poti to control voltage output, its in the software (unless I am wrong about this) So where in the Repertier firmware can I find code for changing stepper motor current?

    The poti is on the stepper driver it it is one you can insert manually. Only RAMBO and Alligator board have on board current setting.

    Right, found them, microscopic metal thingies with adjustment by cross point screwdriver. Only found them with aid of large magnifying light. Thanks for the help.
