    Wiring done,firing up the system

    I think my wiring is complete.

    Other than making sure the wiring is correct, are there any precautions I should know about before I fire it up? Any particular order in turning on power? Should all the motors be connected or can I test individually? If I have only one motor connected to one driver, should I disconnect power leads to the other drivers or will it be fine?

    I set the 4030 drivers to 1.2amp and 1/8 step for testing - (I really don't know what they should be set at yet)

    I don't want to blow anything up the first time I power up.

    Jump in with any words of caution.

    Thanks.

    power the computer up first, make sure bob is connected, than power up your 24v/5v supplies. Shouldnt matter if you have one or 4 motors connected, i ran with only two and everything was ok. I have mine set at 3A. Good luck
