A4988 Stepper driver and RepRap with Sanguinololu board

Hey guys,

I blew all 4 of my A4988 drivers last week by accidently plugging the chips in backward. I was following a picture on the RepRap wiki that showed them plugged in that way (of course there was a note under it that said they were backward that I did not see)

Anyway I ordered 4 new boards and I am trying to be extra cautious when they arrive. Here is a link to my Stepper Motor datasheet.

I have the motor connected as follows.

yellow - 2B
Blue - 2A
Red - 1A
Green - 1B

Is this correct?

Also one of the drivers I blew seems to work a bit but it just makes the stepper stutter.

Hello.

I’m sorry to hear you killed your first set of drivers! Your motor connections look correct.

If you want us to check the other connections too on your replacement boards before you apply power, feel free to post a picture or description once you have them set up.
