No axis movement at all

No axis movement at all
July 28, 2016 06:05PM
New to building a printer, and bought the Folger 2020 Prusa i3 kit.

At the stage where I'm trying to move the axes in Repetier, however no command, homing nor manual control works for any axis. I am getting temperature readings. Endstops light up when triggered.

Things I have tried:
I have used M119 to check the endstops and all are open, and say triggered when pressed down. (I'm using the most recent version of Marlin).
Power supply seem to be ok, fan is working and bed heats when turned on.
Switched endstop in 7th pins to 6th pins.
Inverting any motor wires does nothing.
Turning the turnpots results in squealing, grinding noise, and heating up of the motor (focusing on x axis right now).

Any suggestions?

You haven’t mentioned what board you have.... Ill presume a ramps...

6 main possibilities

Steppers incorrectly wired. Steppers are two coils, make sure that coils are on the correct pins, normally pins 1 ans 2 are coil A and 3 and 4 are coil B (A and B are interchangeable)

Pololu drivers in backwards

No micro stepping jumpers installed

5v applied to 12v 5a power plug

dead pololu drivers

Setting incorrect motherboard in configuration.h

Check all those and you should find something
