UPDATE!

So today i thought i would start to run through everything on the board with the steppers, starting with the Data cable.

This cable ahs been chopped and soldered back together very badly. i got my soldering kit out, and redid some of the wires that were looking crap. taped up all of the ends so non could touch.

Tried moving the motors about and ..... they worked fine. this put a smile on my face.!!

So then to the CNC4PC C1G Board.. Made sure all the connections were soldered and clamped in correctly. yup everything is fine.

Gecko's.. Well these are not my fav tbh but they work for now.. So again made sure all the ends were soldered and clamped correctly.

Lastly to the motors.. Soldered, clammped and secure!

gave the whole machine a good go and it wasnt tripping the PSU.... So rished down stairs and ordered a new cable, 18k resistors and now im looking at some new tooling..

What do you guys suggest for the tooling, i was looking at the indexable ones with carbide tips

Also, this was a quick (manual) test







Getting closer to having it done!
