    I’ m currently building my cnc router, and I’m having problems with my steppers. I have 4 ldomotors nema 23 high torque steppers that all behave the same : when instructed to move, for example 10mm on the openbuilds software, they buzz for a fraction of time, be dead the whole time they are supposed to do something, buzz again at the end (like a little « zz ») while having achieved no step/rotation at all… all 4 of them. I’m using a 24V weho power supply set on 230V (I live in europe) and a blackbox x32. Wiring seems fine, I have continuity where it should be, no short circuits, my stepper should be wired ok too, according to the guide somewhere in the x32 documentation on openbuilds. I tried tweaking the screws on the side of the box to adjust the current but it doesn’t make any difference… any help? Something I might have done wrong ? Or forgot to check ?
    Thanks a lot ! : )

    False. You don't have to select anything, Grbl Settings already knows. Just select a machine from the list (don't forget the Save and Reset when Prompted
    Also incorrect BlackBox 4X was $4=1 but the X32 should be $4=0

    Also follow all setup documentation (don't skip section 7.1 of the BlackBox docs)

    I kinda screwed up that setup part. Loading a preset profile seems to make them work ! However, $4 needs to be set to 0 for me.
    Thank you !
