Ramps 1.4 Marlin Framework, Motors not moving

Over the past year, I have spent time building a Wolf-strap with threaded rods and captive nuts to drive the axis. I have completed the main build and wired up the motors to my ramps board, but after testing both the Repetier and MatterControl hosts, neither of them can move my motors. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Full List of my attempts at a solution:

- Purchased a new Ramps 1.4 board

- Tested multiple motors

- Loaded the repetier firmware onto my arduino board as well as marlin

- I know there is a connection to my laptop because my thermistor gives back accurate heat measurements as my hot-end heats up

- I have tried removing the entire load on the motor to no avail

- The motors can move if I directly control them with a motor control board and an arduino uno

get your endstops working first. Check with M119 command

verify its only firmware/lack of endstops with ramps test firmware [reprap.org]
This moves all axis back and forward and turn on and off all mosfets

and try posting in the correct section. This has nothing to do with printing.

Did you check the basics?
- 12V power?
- step sticks seated correctly on the ramps board?
- all jumpers placed under the ramps board?
- are there more than 3 jumper slots per step stick, try locating docs for configuration and put the proper jumpers in place.
- did you read and configure the configuration.h file? It may take a few hours to a day depending on familiar you are with 3d printer firmwares. Most important for motion is board type, endstop and homing config, type of xyz configuration, corexy or cartesian, bed size, steps per mm. Then check velociity and acceleration. The default settings are often too high.
- what software did you use to move the axes? Does it work from the lcd screen menu?
- does it make any sound? Do you have a dvm to take neasurements?
