Hi Folks

On the second screen in stepconf wizard, do not tick the "create simulated hardware configuration".

Hi Tommylight
Thanks for your quick response, but unfortunately it was n't the problem, I haven't still not connect any of the input - Estop, Limit switches, homing switches, etc., but all the input pins are set to unsused

If you made a config using stepconf wizard, use that config not a sample config.
If they work in wizard they will work in axis or gmoccapy.
Can you give us more info on the procedure, please.

Why are you using an example file rather than the config made by stepconf?

Also be aware that the stepconf axis test does not control the drive-enable pins, so it is sometimes the case that the generated config turns _off_ the drives which worked perfectly OK in the axis test.
