    Help please! Bipolar Parallel wiring

    I'm trying to wire my motors to the G540 in a bipolar parallel scheme, but I'm getting the Fault light of death.

    I'm joining:

    A with -C, and connecting it to A on the G540

    -A with C, and connecting it to -A

    B with -D and connecting it to -B

    D with -B and connecting it to B

    The fault led only lights if the motor is connected, otherwise I get the Power led lit (no fault). I've only wired one so far to try and don't want to try the other drivers/motors until I know I'm doing it right so I don't damage anything. The Estop jumper is installed and the charge pump is disables. I'm using the XLM file provided by Geckodrive to use with Mach3. The current set resistor is properly installed.

    Am I wiring it wrong? If the wiring is wrong I wouldn't expect a Fault light anyway, but a simple lack of movement or maybe vibration (asumming it is the wrong choice of coil order but still parallel).

    Thanks for your help.

    Back to the soldering table, I hope my motors survived.
