Do the following things at the configuration screen for each motor port:

Assign the axis to the motor

Set the “drive-current” to the full load current found in the motor manual.

Set the “idle-current” to 0.

Set the “step-angle” to the value found in the motor manual.

The remaining values can be set and adjusted based on experimentation with your machine.
