I am in the process of building a CoreXY machine, and have the mechanical parts (including the stepper motors) of the X, Y and Z axes installed. I wanted to stop at this point and try moving the X and Y axes.with their steppers. I did not install any end stops yet.
So I programmed my Atmega 2560 with a RAMPS 1.4, using a config file that looks good to me (got it from a facebook posting). I then connected the X and Y steppers, fired up Repetier Host, and connected to the printer. I sent a G92, then a G1 X10 then a G1 Y10, but neither one produces any motion.
My question is, is there a likelihood of something in Marlin preventing me from moving the X and Y, or should I troubleshoot the hardware? Do I need to Home the axes first?
