The pulse per inch setting is  22400  I tried down to 8000 and up to 22400  its a 14 tpi screw 200 step motors 1/8 step setting.  They are 4 wire motors and the board takes 4 wires with the wires on the instuctions and the motors color coded. the voltage on the board is 3.85 which is within parameters according to xylotex
the speed  25k
the inches per minute  I varied between 1 and 50  I wanted 20
the acceleration was 2  however I varied this to nearly  0 up to about half way in the middle of the scale
I hooked one of the motors just sitting on the bench  -- no  load.
Thanks silver1

I have a Xylotex 4 axis board,  when I go to the motor tuning page in Mach 3 and use the arrows to jog the motors
all they do is make a buzzing/whining noise and depending on how I have the speed and acceleration set might move 1 or 2 degrees;  -- barley enough to be seen  -- .   The correct axis makes noise so I assume the pins are set correctly.  When I reverse the step and direction pins the motors make no noise or movement so I assume that is correct.  The voltage at  Vref is within parameters according to Xylotex.  Any ideas?
