whats do you think the problem could be? the board, then you say it couldnt be? im confused?

so far ive got 1 cable working on 1 axis in 1 direction.

i then changed the cable to test each motor, they worked again in 1 direction no matter which direction you pressed the only went 1 way.

one thing i noticed is the x axis (long axis in this case) was forcing the z axis to raise and lower as it moved, only by mm but noticable. wave like motion, what could this be.

i'm trying to establish if ive been sold a dud? does anyone know what rights i have to complain?

ive spent 2 hrs speaking with the guy who sold me the machine prior to actually getting 1 motor working, with him saying try this and try that.

again, thanks for all comments/suggestions.
