    Okay I have figured out the problem. After spending the last 4 days messing around with this thing trying every possible thing to get it to work. I went to the home page and started from the beginning. Suddenly I realized that there is a grbl shield patch for the grbl code… I was using the generic grbl code from github. I loaded it up and BAM it worked no problems. Thanks alot for all your guys help. I’m an idiot.

    Okay so here is a new development. First of all the led next to the steppers that is coming on is red not blue like most of the videos i have seen. also after I send a gcode like g0x100 then when I press the reset button the motor nudges a little bit. sometimes it moves one step and sometimes it looks like it tries to move one step. Anyways thats all I’ve come up with so far.

    The blue light is coming on and after I send a command it is saying okay. I am as sure as someone can be that my motor is hooked up properly. The LED next to each axis flashes when I manually turn the motor shaft. It does not flash when I send my commands which have been “G0X1000” or “G0X05Y05Z05” or many other combinations with out the “”, all have an ok after them. I have run the motor before and it worked fine. The pots I have adjusted clockwise full open and counter clockwise full closed. Maybe I should reflash my arduino? I really dont know what could be wrong. I dont get a peep out of the motor. I am using the cheap $15 Sparkfun motor and I found this video http://vimeo.com/23756500 and hooked them up the same way and I looked at the datasheet.
