Printer powered up and connected to Repetier software. I am able to turn on my extruder heater and heat bed using the software but I cant get it to move any of the motors.

Some reasons may cause motors not moving:
1. A4988 are not plugged correctly.
2. Jumper caps are not plugged under A4988.
3. The motors are not connected correctly.
4. The firmware is not correct.

You can try to use Repetier 1.0.6 to control the printer.
Can you control the motors by LCD screen?

The picture of the board wiring for the stepper motors were showing red wires on a red board.
Once I zoomed all the way in, I realized I had it wired wrong on the board. Once I plugged into the right spots, it worked fine for me.
