I have got everything wired up and when I turn it on the the stepper motor locks ready to work, the breakout board is powered via the usb lead but when I use the control pad the digital display shows the movement but the motor doesn't turn.
I have checked and re-checked the wiring and it all seams to be OK and the continuity is right. I have used bridging wires between Direction+ and Pulse+ and I haven't tried running via mach3 but looking at the videos the control pad should give me movement on the motor.
Any thoughts and advice is welcome, also any advice on jumper settings for screw drives, at the moment it is set at microstep 4.
Thanks.
