I set up a stepper motor, configured it and when testing, it works without a problem. Arduino 2560, Pins 8,9,10,11 are being used. In test mode, it powers the powers pin 8 and 11, the motor stays put. When starting the test, all pins are active, the motor does the anticipated turns and pin 9 and 10 get inactive. When stopping the test, the process reverses, all pins active (based on the controller LED), after back to original position, the pins 9 and 10 get inactive again. So far, so good.

The problem starts when running the software. Even when having a fixed value in "transform" defined, all LEDs on the controller board start to blink and there is zero movement in the motor besides some clicking noise.

I am using "ULN2003 28BYJ-48 4-Phase stepper motors", but as the test mode works, I doubt that the model matters.

I am using version (9.6.0.3 Beta).

Am I missing something??

Please ignore.... Stupid me had a secondary control hidden in the masses that set the stepper to zero :-( Well, good thing, it works as designed now!
