    I think you meant steps per mm there. Little misleading - implies that 200*10 = 400 but maybe that's just me being pedantic.

    What was wrong with the board? Missing lots of steps?

    "What was wrong with the board? Missing lots of steps?"
    dont know mate just was not playing the game, when i set 320 steps it just span like 12 revs and was set to 1/8 on the board.

    Good to see you've got it working :) I did the same video/test as you did...

    That was a long time ago now!

    If I recall correctly my motors make a highish pitched noise when stationary - quiet though.

    I think it's fine but I may be wrong! Not a loud noise?

    The steppers will make nice noises when they're moving.

    its a high pitched sound that changes when you jog it on, at certain ponts it stops!
