Thanks a lot for the feedback guys.
Swapping the step and direction wires or signals gives no motion.
I definitely the frequency to 256k in the SS config...this high frequency capability is the only reason i bought a SS.
The acceleration doesn't seem to effect the motor right now as i'm just running it on the bench with no inertial mass or load...but i've tried a range of values.
One other thing is that I'm sending these signals through Port 1 and into a Gecko 540 and passing the step and direction signals through the two OUTPUT channels. I believe these channels simply take a pin from the DB25 and pass through the 540. You wouldn't suspect that this is getting messed up passing through the 540 would you?
