Thanks to @AndyUK who post his UCCNC set up at his building thread and to all the other guys in the forum, I manage to see my steppers move for the very first time last night.
Thanks everyone for the support!

Congrats Nick! Isn't it fantastic when things start moving?! Getting very close now!

I think the drivers being enabled when disconnected is the default behavior. I changed mine in the protuner configuration software to need the enable signal in the opposite direction. My thoughts being that an active signal of "yes motor you can move" is better than "no signal means everything is okay" because if a wire got disconnected it fails into a safe state.

That's a good point once again, I will do it that way.
Thanks again!

I cut with my bandsaw the 20mm thick aluminum plate I bought from a scrap yard for 80 euros, to replace the MDF I use to mock up everything.
Things went well.
