The first driver reads as 0.00. The second reads as 1.712, and the third stepper driver reads as 1.825. Later I used the spare in replacement of the first and it read 1.418 volts. Does anyone know what I can do to solve this? Thanks in advance.

Are you following the procedure to adjust the voltages? Make sure you don't touch anything other than the adjustment pot with your screwdriver or you might short something out.

Depending upon the type of multimeter you are using, make sure you have the meter set to 2000mVdc or 2Vdc. Make sure you have it set to DC (=) and not AC (~) also.

You have your DMM set to DC Current (A) instead of DC Volts (V with the straight lines under it), so you are measuring mA (milliAmps) instead of Volts. Set it to the "2" in the upper left hand corner. This will give you a full range reading of 2 Volts DC.

I set it to the setting you said and I got the 0.00, 1.712, and 1.825 readings. Still trying to figure what I'm doing wrong.

hum...that's odd. Do you have access to a different multimeter? The reading did look right but your meter was in mA mode. Rowiac is right, the meter should be set to 2V. Very odd indeed. Can you show us a picture of where you have the meter probes connected?

Hey Chrishonda. Please shoot us an email. I think we could set these up for you.
