Re: Stepper motors only turning one direction

The 5v power is coming from the red line on the PC power supply.

No, the distance is perfect. Right now it's 2000 steps per inch.

So what your saying is I need to run the ground from the pc to pin
13 ground on the Centents?


Sorry for my ignorance. Mechanics and programming comes easier then
electrical wiring.
