Debugging

I am trying to verify the operation of the printer. I would like to just be able to individually move the x y and Z axis. But I can't figure out how to do this. I think that the heat bed and the extruder are not heating but I will worry about that after I get the basic motion working. Right now I can't seem to do anything. Whenever I try to manually send a command to move the steppers I get an error that says use M999 to reset and talks about a temperature reset. The console seems to think that the extruder is at 480 degrees centigrade even though it is off, and cold to the touch.

Sounds like you are using Marlin. When you get this message Marlin goes in do nothing mode until you fix the problem and sen M999 or reset firmware.

In your case the thermistor is not connected or has a short/cable break causing Marlin go to failsafe. Repair this and you can move.
