    Some of the CW 230 and CW 8060 micro stepping motor drivers coming from china have
    mislabeled CP and CW pin outs printed on top. CW+ and CW- should be CP+ and CP-.
    If you are wiring up these stepper drivers to a USB-CNC controller, and your motors will
    not work, swap the CP & CW wires. See picture below.


    It took me two days of trying all kinds of things to get the motors to step.
    I could not get my stepper drivers to work at all :banghead: until I put the USB-CNC
    board on my scope :twitch: . After I got through making sure the USB-CNC board was
    OK, and it was OK. I decided to try swapping the CP and CW wires to see what would happen.
    I plugged in the the CNC board and pressed the jog keys and it worked. :banger:

    I hope this will help anyone who may have had this problem.

    Cheers.
