Re: Motors only turning one way

Ok.. a few hours have passed. I have been doing further tests, without reaching much of a conclusion. I was trying to reload the firmware with some of the right settings (fx. number of steps per mm and accelerations), but I'm constantly getting the error (with verbose output):

avrdude done. Thank you."

Is there anything I can do about it? Googling only displays more broad cases that do not apply to my PC (eg drivers and wrong port), and I can't figure it out... Is my board broken? (Hopefully not...)
