Hello everyone,

I've finally got one axis of a picstep functional, however I have a few bugs to iron out.

I've found that the stepper motor changes direction while manually stepping using the control window in kcam. The stepper goes in one direction for 1/2 sec then changes direction for 1sec then reverses again.

I don't know if this is a problem with the hardware, my wiring connections or software timing.

The motors I'm using all have the same colour coded wiring as follows,

one coil, blue & orange with the centre tap white disconnected.
second coil, red & yellow with the centre tap black disconnected.

Any idea's would be greatly appreciated

thanks Dave
