I am using inches and using longs 34 motors and I have checked connections several times. I did change to 50 percent, however it does appear to be faster when running the demo but it could be my imagination. I bought this as a kit and at time didn't know as much about it and as you see still don't know. Maybe it is the computer telling it what to do or maybe a differnent board would be the answer. I understand that without looking at the system its hard to diagnose. I am not giving up just have to rethink, reset, check and try again.
 
Thanks for everyone's help.

in motor tuning I have set my/ steps per, to 1600/ and I have changed my velocity and acceleration to many different numbers. I can get the motors to run smooth when I jog, but when running the demo in mach 3 they sound terrible. At this point I am not worry about speed. I just can't get them tuned. I know i'm just missing something but can't figure it out. I don't give up very easy so i'll keep at it. So any information on tuning is appreciated. you need to dummy it down, as I said I am very new. Thanks for all your information.

should my drivers never be set above 1600 steps per rev. ?? And than set accordingly?

Made changes on driver switches but did not solve the growling/stalling. May be I just need to find tune the motors. Any suggestion are welcome?

Yes they are 3.5 A.
I have not be able to get back to the shop yet to reset things as of yet, hoping to today, for sure tomorrow. 
My settings was my problem i guess, i was told to set my steps per to 4000 so i'm hoping that was my problem.
I'll post my results when change them.
Thanks

when you say micro step settings at the stepper drivers are set correctly first, you mean the switches? if so i have done that and did change them and had to go back with the original settings. but not sure how to set the 1600 steps per rev. can you explain how?
ill also check the motor tuning again.

I am very new at this, I have 34 stepper motors and on the Y & A axis I get stalling /growling when in the jog mode and also when trying to run the demo in mach 3. Mostly when I stop and start.  I have check settings, wiring, looks right. My x and z seems to do find. I have changed settings in motor tuning and I have to go back to my original setting. Can anyone help?
