    The feedback must be within set range for a motor to stay on so you need to adjust the pot on each motor. The green line in utilities should be in the middle when a motors shaft is in its middle or center position. Once working if a motor runs to one end and smc3 shuts off the motor then you probably just need to swap the power leads on the motor because its likely running backwards.
