Wow that was it.....thank you so much

That is the first thing I wired and I cannot recall why I ended up wiring it in that configuration (it must have been from one of their videos for a different nema motor and I obviously assumed it was for mine)

one last question;

I have 2 motors running the x axis in opposing directions.  Can you let me know how to wire it / or program it into mach3?

Did everything you said and it tripped again without the motor turning.

why would the motor turn a lot when I input 20,000 steps per inch but nothing at 400?  besides the obvious numbers, is there a difference in the amperage when that signal is being sent?

Sorry about that....I was contemplating on putting this in the general Mach discussion first but then I didn't

This is Windows 10
I bought most of my parts from buildyourcnc.com so you can visit their site for more info....the motion controller has their name on it. (picture attached)  drivers, power supply and motors are all from them.

I'm running Mach3...I just reinstalled it today to confirm I had the most up to date version and all plugins.

I disconnected the y axis to test the connection and you can see that in the other picture of just the single motor, driver, and connected to pin 4, 5, and 5v on the board.  board is connected with the UC100 parallel port to usb connection and the 5v from the separate usb port.  I also re-downloaded the UC100 parallel port driver from cncdrive.com

I'm not fully versed here so go easy on me

I am having a hard time with mach3 running my nema 34 motors.  I started with the usual setup and when I tried to jog the motor I hear it click and then the driver trips.  I have tried resetting the dip switches to 0 and adjusted the steps per inch in the motor tuning to 20,000 steps and then I get the spindle to spin but once it stops, the driver trips again. there must be either a setting off or the voltage / amperage is messed up.  I have rewired this thing multiple times and I don't think its a wiring issue at this point unless the wiring instructions were wrong.  I ordered all the motors, drivers, interface board, power supply from buildyourcnc.com but they are not helpful. does anyone have any suggestions?
