    Unhappy Gecko G540 problems

    Purchased a new Gecko G540 to upgrade from a TB6560 board i have been using but can not get it work . I have wired it up correctly but can not get it to run I have the red led light on but can not get the green led on to run the motors.

    I have a 48 volt power supply connected positive to pin 11 ground to pin 12 and also pin 10 to ground to take it out of estop mode and have the charge pump switch off but still no green led only the red one lights up.
    Please help

    Have you followed the troubleshooting procedure in the G540 manual?
    Regards

    Charge Pump Switch?

    Correct Power Supply Voltage?

    Start with no motors connected.
