Help restarting MPCNC build - firmware, control and, orientation

All that has changed from the photo at the top of the thread is that I have finished loosely assembling, the machine with the pen holder facing front left, plugged the steppers into the Ramps, flashed the firmware, and set up the pi.

The belts are not on yet so the only axis that will move would be the Z, but I have tape flags on the other stepper pulleys so I can easily see if they move . Below is a photo of the temporary wiring.

How strange. That all looks fine. Unless the firmware doesn’t match that board. Thanks for the photo.

That was it! I reflashed the firmware and it is working now. Thanks!

After long delay, life getting in the way again, I have finally got some time to work on this and did a successful crown test this week.
