    I just finished setting everything up, and I can't get any of my steppers to move with the control software. The controller shows up fine in the software, I followed the blackbox documentation and everything seems like it should work alright. Is there a troubleshooting guide or anything out there? I've tried fiddling around with the grbl profiles and settings and everything looks good, but I'm very new to setting up machines like this.

    If it helps my machine uses nema23s, but I'm testing with nema17s as well to try and get everything working.
    Thank you!

    And 24v power in, on, polarity correct, and working correctly. Just needs power, $4=1 and of course correctly wired motors
