Hi Tim,
We’ll need a bit more info to help get this sorted out. Could you take some clear, detailed photos of your circuit/wiring/setup, and include the code that you’re using?

**Just note the black wire coming from the external driver is connected to yellow motor wire

Hi Tim,

The pictures look good, but the information copied from the product pages makes it very hard to understand what the problem is. I’ve edited your reply to just the pictures, they look to be ok. The best place to take this from here would be the Sprinter forum as it’s most likely an issue with your code. That said, if you’ve got a multimeter handy, go through and confirm the voltages on all our pins, which is usually the fastest way to check for a bad connection somewhere.
