Steppers only moving one step.

Hoping one you folks has an idea.

I did the usual X2 build, used kellings package with three 4030's C10 bob.
It was running, until the last pc I had it connected to gave up.

Built a new linux box, put it all back together and now it doesn't run. When I'm running stepconfig and get to the point where it says test this axis,when I click on the arrow I can hear the motor click and feel the shaft move, maybe 1/4 of a degree. I tried it several times, and about half of the time after the stepper clicks there will be a faint hi piched sound.

I'm hoping one of you folks might know what is going on,? Thinking I may have toasted my C10, but the motors are getting something from the controller, they grab when they get power, and think about moving when I try to jog them.

all three axis's do the same thing.

any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks Bill

Might want to look here...

Double check your timing, step and direction pins, speed, acceleration etc.

have you altered the default acceleration etc in your ini file , or if using older config , it may have become over written

I've just been trying to get them to move in the step config program, where it says test this axis :dry:
