Got it and ran the commands you gave me. The test in the configuration wizard now says that the axis is moving but the machine itself does not seem to move.

I have 4 of them, two of them do this, well one has the resistor so it does not do that anymore.

The most common reason step drives don't move ( when step and dir are connected properly)
is that the step time is too short (try 5 usec = 5000 ns as a start )

So start with 5microsecond pulses and step up from there until the servos move?

5 usec is usually OK unless you have very slow drives
Also for many low end drives, single ended step/dir
connections are better.

Gecko 320 are single ended drives. So I have the mesa 7i76 configured for single ended drives. Even with 5usec the servos still dont seem to move. Is there a good way to check if I have messed up the wiring.
