I got the PCB from Gerber, soldered everything following the manual, every part it is in place, my arduino nano it is properly loaded with the firmware 2024-09, and setted the board DRV8825 with a nema 14hm11-0404S.
Checked the voltage in every part according with the manual, everything seems OK.
Now the problems:
1.- The APP for windows just doesn't start. Try to start, I see an icon like getting connection to the net, but no success, and there is an error that avoid the app to be installed.
Ok, I got the windows app working!!! So now I have connection to the board and everything works fine, except that the Nema motor make noise but does not turn.
I get no clue why it is not working.
Any help would be much appreciated.
By the way, my set up has no Home sensor, I am not sure if this coould be the problem.
In the Windows app is set that no home sensor is available.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, now I have everything working. My problem was the pins of the Nema motor were different number than the ones in the manual. So I took a look at the datasheet of my Nema motor, put the right order of the wires in the J4 connector and now it is working!!!
I just need to assemble everything and print my case in my 3d printer.
Thanks, and I hope my case can help someone else.
Best regards.

I forgot to mention that the Windows APP, after the extraction of the ZIP file, creates a subfolder named "Application Files", there you'll find the EXE file that just works fine, but with a extrange file name "myrotator.exe.deploy" I just renamed "myrotator.exe" and it works like a charm.
I though it may help someone else.

1.- The APP for windows just doesn't start. Try to start, I see an icon like getting connection to the net, but no success, and there is an error that avoid the app to be installed.
The error is as follows:
2.- The light LED is never lighting up on the board.
3.- NINA can't connect to the rotator.
I need some assistance... please.
