@bearer it was this one. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/333155319093
Feel free to ignore this issue though. I know I'm asking a lot of questions.
I appreciate everyones help.

@bearer so do i choose x16 or x16 (on)

@phaedrux said in Motors not moving:

ou mean about the hotend in active/standby mode. Can you des

I mean that when i choose a temperature in active shown in the image and go to active mode it does nothing but it works in active mode.

@dc42 yes i tried that. it says its enable but nothing comes up on the screen.
I tried plugging into the paneldue one and the screen at least lights up but nothing on the screen.
I have copied the /menu folder contents to the right place

@phaedrux i did have the P1 originally which did enable it.
Then i'd follow up with M918 and it would say its enabled and working but the lcd doesnt light up.

@bearer do you mean that if i set to 16 i will still get 256 microstepping somehow?

@bearer ok. So multiplying all steps by 16 worked. Except the extruder went ridiculously fast so I put that one back to what I had it.
Now I have two other issues. Or three really but only two are important.
1.) I can't get the hotend to start under active mode. Only standby mode.
2.) The hotend fan never starts
3.) I have a 12864 LCD that never comes on.

I believe it's all wired correctly.

Ok, thanks all. Hopefully this works. Then I'll move on to the next issues.

@veti is that microstepping though? It's one of the main reasons I went with this board. I just don't know much about it though

@bearer ok thanks. That might help. I'll try that tomorrow.
