No, I wont be using any pins for a spindle. I wouldnt think that would matter really to make the motors jog.
I am getting movement in the x and y when I jog with the key board, but no motor movement. My pulse frequency is 24060, if that means anything...
Also, I used aluminum wire to connect all the elcetronics, and the wire that is connecting the motors is copper... I wouldnt think that would make a difference, just FYI, I guess!
I will check again to make sure the direection and step are correct... and I will check the printer port again...
