There is also a line in the firmware that may ned changing depending upon the display you purchased.
PM me your mobile number and which parts you need images of and I will
sms pics to you
cheers

Thanks Gary. I sent a PM as you suggested but thought I might put this comment on the tread for others to reply - I thought that with these high-torgue motors such as the 27:1 NEMA17 you don't have to keep current to them all the time. The rotor inertia on these is 35gcm2 which ought to hold an elephant even when not powered.
