    Hi at all, after that i perfectly followed the official guide in this websites and also the youtube video to connect the steppers to the Blackbox i must say that the wiring schema in the image and in the video is wrong. In fact I connected as instructions and the steppers did not work or better they made some strange noises and attempts to start etc ... In fact, after having tested the pairs of coils with the multimeter I discovered that the sequence of colors as indicated by the guide and also by the official videos are wrong. (In the video and in the image of the documentation it indicates the sequence Red-Blue-Green-Yellow starting from the left). In reality the colors from left had to be Red-Green-Blue-Yellow) and these steppers are High Torque bought from OOZnest. So, in order not to loose 2 hours of time to understand where the problem was, also for others, I entered this post. In fact, I always recommend testing the pairs with the multimeter.
    Regards,

    Hello @Excalibur67 thank you for your feedback on the motor wire colors. I believe that you ran into this issue due to the fact that you are using motors from Ooznest and following the OpenBuilds Videos and Docs. The OpenBuilds motor wiring colors are inline with the videos and docs from OpenBuilds.

    I ran into a similar issue. I bought my kit last year but only got the opportunity to put together this month. My steppers and kit came from OpenBuilds. Wiring does not match the current stepper motor documentation. Determined coils by shorting pairs. My stepper motors have the long leads with tinned wires on the end. New motors have short lead with terminals. PN on my motors matched newer motor PN.
