    The Little Step U motor controller does work, so there must be something different about what you're doing or how you have things hooked up or programmed. I suggest you make up a schematic drawing showing your setup and how you have things actually connected. Include the source file for the program you're using to test the whole thing. Use the Attachment Manager for attaching these files to your reply.

    The documentation for the Little Step-U doesn't help explain why yours doesn't work. It's very common for people to believe that they have followed examples or instructions in the documentation and find that their setup doesn't work. It's usually due to some mistake in wiring or programming where what actually has been built doesn't in fact match what's in the documentation. Part of insisting that you post a schematic and source code is to either push you to compare what you actually have to what's in the documentation or, by allowing others to compare what's in the documentation with what you actually have, to point out discrepancies that you may have missed.

    The problem you're having is probably due to the modifications or some difference between the way things are connected in the documentation vs. how you actually have them connected. Without more detailed information from you, it's impossible to say why your setup doesn't work.

    i'll try and get a schematic on here soon.
