General Mach Discussion / locked motor

« on: February 01, 2010, 11:31:53 PM »

Hi, I a noob to the CNC world.  I have finished my machine and now trying to get the software, boards, and motors to talk to each other.  I have ran the driver test on my Tobshiba satellite laptop with excellent results and set up the software the seller of the interface and driver boards but with no luck on getting the motor to turn.  I am test one motor here in the house then I will move out to the shop when completed. The motor appears to be lock when the power is applied.  I have tried several different setups, on a PC, and another motor with no luck. The LEDs on the driver board and a multimeter show a constant voltage to one side of the motor. Using Danaher 2 phase 1.8 degree stepper motors.
Any help or suggestions before I ruin something?
Thanks
