yes it is v1.0.6 the extruder motors do not work either. none of the motors work on the printer before or after i changed the plugs.

You connect all the motor drivers in the opposite direction! That may even destroy the board.

They are connected as the instructions say....

So before I start this and try again this is the correct way to install the drivers???

Yes, this is the correct direction. Because the driver you are using is DRV8825, and the driver you see on the internet is A4988.

Okay so I have them on and now they turn on and I can hear them buzz when I activate them. They do not move the motors still but they lock up the belts so they do not move.

The belt is locked up? Is the belt installed too tightly?

[x306xcptnkirk]

The belt is not installed too tightly. When the motors engage it allows no movement but does not move

Maybe the driver is dead because you plugged it in the wrong direction before. Can you move the extruder motor after heating?

It makes sounds but does not turn the motor.
