hey Mike,
been busy in the shop or would have responded earlier.
the toggles are to set the amount of microsteps and the amps going to the motors.
With the default "all down" you'll be in full step mode and only .9 amps.
I have mine set to half step mode for the X and Y, but the 1/8 microstepping is a good starting point.
Switch M1=down, M2=down, M3=up is 1/8 microstepping mode.
Will give nice smooth movement.
I have my 282's set at 2.7 amps, M5=up, M6=up, M7=down
check what your motors specs recommend for current/phase.
Power off, spinning free and power on, stiff is exactly right for the motors.
Later Hoss
