Hi Lou Hoods your man to sort this out however a few thing to look at. My problems started by me taking the old wiring from my denford mill and assuming the colour coming out of the motor was the same all the way trough to the steeper drives (WRONG) so I ended up cross wiring my X and Y drives, unlike you my stepper drive burnt out. Expensive error. My Z moved but the X and Y just melted the steeper drive, luckily your OK.
Lou they the following
On the diagnostic page look to see of there are any red lights on (overtravel and stops activated).
Check that the computer output is stable (if you look at the Resoursce on the MAch internet file and watch and listen to the videos on setting the system up it will tell you how to do that.
Check for loose connections you have made, my spindle kept stooping in mid program running, it was a loose wire going into the BOB.
From the sound of it you dont appear to have any power to your X and Y. as I said my machine conversion was from and old 1988 Denford Triac which had 4 wire steppers, if they are not matched in pairs that could be your problem with the Z axis as my axis grumbled the first time I wired it up. A simple electronic tested will tell you the pairs of wires.. Lou dont know how much you have had to do to connect it all up but it appears you havent got power to your X and Y axis.
Keep in contact with the forum and you will sort it out, I did and I'm as thick as two short planks when it comes to electronic. Got so many notes on how I set it up if it goes wrong I should be able to fix it, maybe with help from Hood. As I said before if not someone on the forum will help.
