    Riley,

    Thank you so much for your online and offline assistance. I never would have managed to troubleshoot both my bad wiring and the bad flash on my board without your help.

    When I issue a move, I hear sounds in the motors, and 2 of the 3 green LEDs flash, but nothing actually moves, and the Z motor gets really hot.

    I flashed the firmware that I found at:
    https://github.com/synthetos/TinyG/blob/master/firmware/tinyg/default/tinyg.hex

    Maybe I need to recompile tinyg.hex using the settings in the header file you linked to? Is there a link that explains how to recompile specifying a particular group of settings?

    Ok, the spindle direction LED flashes when I hit reset, so I have the bootloader. Where do I find tinyg.hex? Am I supposed to compile it myself?

    Thank you for your help and your patience.

    Thank you for your reply- let me clarify.

    I have blinking green lights, and can send set variables through CoolTerm. So I know I’m connecting to the board. When I try sending G0 X10 Y10 Z10 I see the green lights for motor 2 and 3 light up, but for some reason, not motor 1. (Motors 1-3 are connected to X, Y, and Z respectively).

    None of the motors move, but I hear something going on with them- kind of a high pitched whine and sometimes a sound like they want to move, but they don’t.

    Also, last time I tried, the Z motor got really hot, though as far as I can tell it’s wired the same way as the others.

    Are there particular configuration settings for each motor that I should be sure to set?

    Brad
