I'm terribly inexperienced when it comes to multimeters and voltages. Until RepRap my experience has been in nice simple computer components. That being said, I am not terribly clear how to proper connect and measure the current output from Motor Controllers to the Stepper Motors. Does anyone have a link to a general meter use guide or even better, a visual description of measuring RepRap motors/current? Written steps would be extremely helpful too.

I attempted attaching the two meter cables to a pair of stepper motors to what I assumed to be positive and negative. I found no reading so I stopped and asked teh internets. Any and all help is much appreciated as always.

The reprap wiki has a very informative entry on Stepper Motors .
