    Exclamation Wiring Help with DB25-1205 DQ542MA Nema 23 Motors Mach 3 Demo

    I'm a newbie to this stuff and this forum. so please bare with me and make explanation simple to understand for an old 62 year old fart

    I need some help with configuring my drivers and wiring for Mach3 Demo version
    This is what I use:

    Windows 7 pro with 32 Bit
    Parrallel port
    when I crank up Mach 3 and then go to device manager.
    I get a ? mark under drop down, so I applied a patch that I applied, but it still stays there ????????

    Wantai DB25 1205 Breakout Board
    Wantai stepper motor Model 57BYGH115-003 3.0 A 1.8 Deg/Step
    4 x DQ542MA Wantai drivers

    I'm using the Mach3 Demo version.

    I connected everything like Wantai motors told me.
    motors lock up when power is applied and it looks like mach 3 is going through its stages, but motors do not move

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I have tried to use directions for setting for mach 3, but I guess they may not be correct either

    I have a 5 volts power supply hooked up to MB , But when checking voltage it only reads 2.8 volts
