Ddcsv3.1 CL57T STEPPER DRIVER NO AXIS MOVEMENT

MrWallyMan

I have retrofitted my first CNC router/ engraving machine that came without any drives, power supplies or motion control hardware and am experiencing issues getting the steppers to move.  When i turn everything on i can hear the steppers lock up as they should but when i attempt to move any of the 3 axes the coordinates on the screen change but the motors do absolutely nothing. I am running 2x closed loop nema23 motors and a closed loop nema24 motor paired with the CL57T stepper drivers. I am becoming frustrated with the lack of clear documentation on setting up all the settings in the menu, can someone who knows more than i do about this please help me get my machine up and running, please? I would be incredibly grateful for any assistance with this matter.

I have double checked all my wiring which is correct and i still have no movement.  I would really prefer to get this working but i fear i may be returning it to Amazon and purchasing something with better documentation and IDK, maybe a little support from the manufacturer? Or i may just end up going the arduino/ESP32 etc. route. This is driving me crazy!

Do you read manual?

Of courseI read the manual. IDK what I'm missing but it's still not wanting to move any of my stepper motors and it's driving me absolutely crazy.

two most typically novice mistakes:
1) forgotten second power supply for DDCS
2) wrong connection "enable" signal for stepper drivers
