motor Z0 does not energize for some reason when the motor is supposed to be moving but does when it is not supposed to be moving, I try the motor on a different port and it works but not on the one it is supposed to, I changed the stepper drivers and no change so tried 5 more stepper drivers and switched them all around on the board, same result, motor works, steppers do too., so the motor when connected to the correct port does nothing except for being energized when stationary .

It looks like your enable pin for z1 needs to be inverted with a ! Look at the other motor configuration sections for how the enable pin should look.

#

Z3 is also wrong and needs the enable pin inverted.

tried that but no motors on Z moved so I guess its like that in the original file for a reason

laying with the printer cfg I now have all 4 motors move down ok, 3 will raise ok but not the rear left, the cfg with the ! are not edited by me the cfg file was copied from the main Voron website and already has those in it, I changed the DIR as needed to reverse the direction but never altered them from the enable since theses are in the original although when I did then no motors moved

yeah I know but when I do that it stops working

#

oops was reading an old coment, ignore that lol

#

yeah but in this file a few have been removed from the original config but that works

#

check the original file link and you will see only two ! are used with enable pins

#

no idea why but it works

I have increaded the current though to 1.0 to gfive it that little bit extra umph but I am using extra fans so the heat will be no problem
