Tweakie,
Thanks. The motor was so hot that I could not keep my hand on it so very fricking warm. I am running 100% at this point. So down to 75% might be the right solution.
Rich,
Yes, I have a very good idea of the possibilities. The first motor was the X axis and had 2^12 combinations and took me days. The second was very much shorter due to me noticing that pins 8 and 2 were somehow connected to the Y axis. The possibilities here were only 121 or 2 X 11 and none of them worked. The Z axis only had 7 combinations and I have not found any that turn the motor in both directions.
I believe the possible pins are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,11,14,16,17
For the X tried each one in Dir and Step for 2 ^12 but I was lucky in noticing that pin 1 stepped the X or I hoped it did. As I went through all the rest of the pins I found that pin 5 and 6 kicked the Z axis (made it tick but not move and that pins 8 and 2 ticked the Y axis. so things were a little shorter than they could have been.
I now have X Step as pin 1 and X Dir as pin 7 and this axis turns in both directions.
I also have Y Step as pin 8 and Y Dir as pin 2 but this axis does not turn in both directions.
I also have Z Step as pin 5 and Z Dir as pin 6 but this axis also does not spin in both directions.
On both the Y and Z axis I have tried all of the other combinations with both Dir and Step swapped and this is the only settings that give me shaft movement.
