    Help turning motors C11 + G203 + Mach3

    Hi,
    I have the c11 bob from cnc4pc and the g203s

    I connected only the z-axis motor and configured the mach3 as shown in attached image.
    However, I am not able to turn the motor..I notice that it is a little warm,so I assume that it draws current from my driver.
    Also, I measured that G203 gets 48V and that the step,com,dir cables are already wired to the C11 bob.
    What else should I take care of to start turning this motor ?

    Thanks.
