Okay this is the problem. I have a stepperworld break out board that is a three in one and is getting power to the motors but not moving them. PIN configuration matches that set by the maker of the board and Mach3 seems to be having no problem getting info there. The motors are 6 lead Nema 23 motors (190 oz) with a six lead set up (two pairs of three).

While this might not be the ideal set up up it is where I am currently at. I need to get the system to work as time has become an urgent problem. So does anyone else have experience with these motors or this board and know how to get things moving. On Mach I have done different tuning setting in trying to get a response including the 500, 50, 5 setting and no joy. The board comes with one 1.5Ohm 50W resistor for using with 5V. This pairs the two tap lines together per axis and leaves the other four going into the board by axis.

Have set it up for 12V and using a 1.5 Ohm 50W resistor per tap line (there is the connection point for them) and have them mounted on an aluminum frame as well as cooling blades mounted on top.

The system is a Marchant Dice Gantry system. Mach3 is running from either a laptop or a desktop and both are having the same problem. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
