Hi I have a problem.
I have set up a test for controlling the steppers from the LCD and from Repiter-host an I can control
stepper Z,X1 and Y1 but not X2 and Y2, they are dead.

did you upload the dual endstops firmware, if not it will assume your using motors in series, 2 motors on x and y.

Thanks for you reply
I thought the dual endstop firmware was installed on the Rambo 1.4
I will try that.
Thanks

I ordered the Archim2 kit with dual end stops
The order said If you bought a bundle or electronics board from this site, this is already done.
Using Repetier-Host to operate the unit
I Connected a RepRapDiscount Smart Controller to EXP1 and Exp2
I connected the end stops to their proper place
I connected all the Steppers to their proper place
I Powered up the Archim2 board
The LCD display is blank, like there is no power to the display.
The Repetier-Host only operates the X1, Y1, and Z the X2 Y2 will not operate
Removing the timing belts, I checked the X2 Y2 and there is no power to the steppers
I then reconfigured the steppers in parallel X1,X2 Y1,Y2
Then using the Repetier-Host the MPCNC Archim2 board operated just fine
My question is, could this Archim2 board not been pre-loaded with the dual end stop, how do I check this.
Why is there no display do I need to enable this in the Configuration.h

Am I using the correct Marlin for my Archim2 board which one should I use?
MARLIN-DUAL-END-STOPS or
Marlin-MPCNC_Archim2_T8_16T_LCD_16step
Gordon you should start a new thread of you own to keep things clear. ARCHIM boards are not flashed, you need to flash it. I have direct links on the firmware page for the ARCHIM boards.
