Hi, I have a problem with the DEC stepper control. No response from the motor if I hit the South button in the EQASCOM interface even with the Slew command from CdC. The stepper work well only with the North commands. I tried to swap both the 8825 boards and the steppers but the behaviour is the same. May be something broken on my Mega board, like defective pins? May I try to use different pins for the DEC and reassign them in PinMappings.h? I think I could try to compile the code with avrdude.

EDIT:
I checked the board after swapping the DEC and RA pins on the board but the problem persist on the South command ...
it's not a board pins issue
EDIT2:
Further test. After connecting the EQASCOM driver the RA stepper is powered but the DEC not (I can easily rotate the shaft). After a North movement command the motor is still powered but if I press the South button the shaft make a very slight 'click' and doesn't move. The stepper became again UNpowered.
EDIT3:
Solved. The digital pin 8 of my MEGA2560 clone is defective. Changed the EN-1 of the DEC driver to pin 9. Now works perfectly.
