I have a HICTOP 3d printer kit that I built around 3 years ago that earlier this summer had a few of the stepper motor drivers go out so I decided to upgrade the board to a MINI RAMBo 1.3 that I got from V1Engineering. The connectors that I have aren’t the same connectors as the board so I carefully removed the plugs and plugged into the pins. I have downloaded edited and Marlin and the printer connects to Pronterface however I am unable to make the axis move via the interface in the program and it won’t heat the extruder head when I try to start a print. I am not using the heated bed right now as I am only printing with PLA and have adjusted Marlin to not try to read that sensor. The thermistor on the extruder I have verified is the number code 10 and in pronterface it displays the temperature so I know its connecting and the board works.
I have attached a picture of my board and the configuration along with the configuration_adv for the marlin that I am using. I have tried plugging in stepper motors that I have purchased for the MPCNC and those haven’t worked.
In short, I know the printer connects to pronterface and all of the parts connected to it work I just can’t heat the extruder or move the stepper motors to print.
I am at a loss as to what to try next and any advice would be appreciated.

I don’t remember where I downloaded the marlin that I currently using but I did make some changes although there was no option for a mini Rambo just one for Rambo which I applied.
Where is the best GitHub source for marlin with an option for a mini Rambo?
