No stepper movement

Hi thanks for you help to date. I have tried different combinations and the ones you suggested and moved the card to a different slot. I have measured the voltage out of the bob and am not getting a feading at the pull - and direction - not sure if this is correct or not. I will try a different computer and cable next week to at least discount the computer or cable as the problem. I will let you know the outcome

Have you measured the voltage _in_ to the BoB?
(Note that you can probably only see the DIR pin with a mutlimeter, on either side)

Not but intend to check the voltage out of the parallel port and make sure i get a read at the end of the cable as well

Bear in mind that not all parallel port cables are fully-wired. Some have only enough wires inside to drive a printer.

thank you a lot
