Hooray, I have expected movement!
I had purchased a newer drive on the way home from work to replace the Tandon drive that I have been fiddling with. A quick test and I found out that this newer drive (a Teac drive) works!
I can successfully Jog it back and forth, I can stop on a dime and give you nine cents change.
This concludes a BIG milestone for me on this small machine I am building. My next milestone will be to find out how much torque these small steppers will give me and if need be, is there anything I can do to squeze more torque out of them.
WoooHooo, we have movement!!! Last but not least, thanks for your help guys.
