So final report.
If you are reading this, here was my solution.
When installing the 5160 drivers, the CLK pin (Third pin on the right, (yellow side) ) needs to be either removed, or bent off to the side. Take caution to ensure the CLK pin, when bent, does not touch other pins on the board.
Once your satisfied with the CLK pin position, you need to ground the CLK pin. I used the input power to accomplish this. However, I would guess that any other ground will work. You DO NOT need to ground each driver. I grounded the x axis driver (far left on the board) and that was the only one I grounded. //Edit// I ended up grounding the CLK pin to the top left hand side of the driver with a simple jumper wire. Which just so happens to be the ground on the driver. The other CLK pins from their respected drivers were just cut off. You may choose to leave them if you think you will ever need them for other projects.
A special thanks to @jeffeb3 for sticking it out with me for an oddly late evening. Just one last note, I used firmware listed at post 7 of this forum post Here .
Hopefully this will save you a few hours of your time.
Thanks again, Jeff! You’re incite is greatly appreciated!
