CNCSNW,
I'm happy to say that was not the problem.
But that gave me ideas of other things to look into.
I found that with the jog speed set to High (rabbit) I could indeed jog.
So I went into the Wizard and found my low jog speed set to 0!!! I didn't do that on purpose and i didn't think that was ...

Slowly getting it all put back together. Have discovered a couple of un connected wires, ugh.
But one thing has popped up.
I can turn the motor using MDI commands or running a program, but it will not turn when clicking on the X+ or X- to jog from the main screen. What could cause that?
I promise ...

OK
I gave up on the 5V Dir and Step connections and changed to 24V. I found that the motor would buzz when I clicked + or - and the motor was not locked up after.
So the tip that we don't need Enable if the motor locks up was helpful. I disconnected En+ and En-, powered everything up, loaded CNC12 ...

I'm sorry guys, I haven't checked on this thread for a few days. Been trying different options. I will go down and follow these suggestions to see if it makes a difference.
I'll be back

I went into the Wizard and reversed the Enable on Drive 2 just to check, but no go.
At this point, I'm going to go back to basics and pull a CL57T out onto the bench and wire up a single motor (ala Marty)
I also would like to get MotionStudio working. I connected the cable to my CL57T and found ...

I reconnected the Enable and Enable Power but that didn't help.
Dang it!

Sword, Ken,
I swapped out the yellow and green encoder wires as you suggested. mounted the CL57 back to the ground plane, powered up the Acorn, loaded CNC12. The Y axis locks up as always but I don't get any movement when I click Y+ or Y- on the CNC12 screen.
Mike, I disconnected the Enable and ...

I started double-checking all my wiring and did find a couple of loose coonections on Y VCC and EA+ I snuggled them back in and tested, but no change.
I pulled the Y CL57T and took some clearer (I think) pictures of everything. Maybe someone can see something in the pictures.
I'm about to put one of ...

Ewe
I downloaded MotionStudio and uncompressed it. The help file seems to be in Chinese and without that I was lost. I went through all the menu choices, but of course they depend on a connection being established. I searched Google for another source for MotionStudio, but was unable to find ...

Shawn,
Switches are set to 5 V
