Thank you very much Theo. As it turns out I haven't received any reply from RoboFocus yet so may be needing all the help I can get soon.
While I'm somewhat competent with my multi-meter I'm not familiar with testing stepper motors. I understand their conceptual difference from a servo motor but not how to safely measure the signals going to them. I'm not going to touch the thing before I know I won't fry it, so ... do you have any advice on how to test the output to the motor? I suspect it's somewhat specific to the RoboFocus how it's wired so I may have to rely on information from them.
I have tested the power input to the controller and it's showing a correct 12v power supply.
Roger.
