Im using driver a4988 with nema 17 stepper, 17hs4023 . For some reason my stepper only goes in one direction even though I am setting the direction pin to LOW. Could it be I got it wrong wired? Im running out of ideas it is connected like this: // Define pin connections & motor's steps per revolution const int dirPin = 2; const int stepPin = 3; const int stepsPerRevolution = 1000; void setup() { // Declare pins as Outputs pinMode(stepPin, OUTPUT); pinMode(dirPin, OUTPUT); } void lo
