Bit busy at minute but will look properly but will look for you later.
I'm 99% the enable logic state in the drive is different to what the BOB is using. If you can find the enable pins that the BOB is using for enables then change the active state and it should work. Other than that you'll need to do it in the software on the drive. OR just leave them off.!

I'll need to know what pins on the BOB you are using control what on the machine. Ie Relays and there contact state ie NC or NO.

Need to know the Dip switch positions on the BOB please.

i left the dip switch positions off on the BOB. to be honest i thought that i would get the basics hooked in .i have an e/stop , a home /limt and xyz home/limit hoooek up normally closed . i thought that these would get me up and running.

[PAULRO]

i haven't the overide wired up yet , i didn't think that would matter with regards to getting the motors to turn .

[PAULRO]

[JAZZCNC]

Looks like you hadn't set enable output. (enable1) Thats why the motors won't turn because the drive enable is being turned off.

Try this xml.
