    Question Have my Steepers Assumed Room Tempeture Too? (DIED)

    Because of my miswiring between the Xylotex stepper controllers and the steppers, my stepper controllers have died.

    I have stripped everything out and am starting over. I think my steppers are OK but I need someone to give me a professional opinion.

    If I measure across both coils on each stepper I get aproximately the same reading on all steppers, for each coil.

    I didn't find any shorts between coils, nor between any coil and the case.

    Is there any further test I could perform before I call them good and connect them to the new stepper drivers?

    Thanks

    I doubt you damaged your motors. But, how did you miswire that damaged your controller board?

    Here are the motor connections that I used:
    A# on Board is connected to Red 1-2 on Stepper
    A on Board is connected to Black 3.4 on Stepper
    B on Board is connected to White 5-6 on Stepper
    B# on Board is connected to Green 7-8 on Stepper

    This is the link from Scorcheror, telling me the correct connections:

    ok mr chips,i got it your hooked up wrong at the board,here how it should be
    A on the board=1+2
    A# on the board=5+6
    B on the board=3+4
    B# on the board=7+8
    im not sure what colors you used but stick with the numbers,i got them from powermax
