I plugged in the Arduino to my computer and selected the board and port. Then I verified there were no issues with my code before clicking the arrow to upload the code.
this code also did not work:
#include <Stepper.h>
const int stepsPerRevolution = 200; // change this to fit the number of steps per revolution
// for your motor
// initialize the stepper library on pins 8 through 11:
Stepper myStepper(stepsPerRevolution, 8, 9, 10, 11);
void setup() {
// set the speed at 60 rpm:
myStepper.setSpeed(60);
// initialize the serial port:
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// step one revolution in one direction:
Serial.println("clockwise");
myStepper.step(stepsPerRevolution);
delay(500);
// step one revolution in the other direction:
Serial.println("counterclockwise");
myStepper.step(-stepsPerRevolution);
delay(500);
}
my EN+, EN-, out+, out-, and NC pins are not connected connected to anything. My V+ and V- are connected the the DC battery and my Step+, Step-, Dir+, Dir- are connected to the arduino open spots. is this good?
Please use code tags; I can see that you tried but replace the three ticks ''' in the beginning and the end by three backticks ```.

You can create one
So the question is what the motors actually do? Don't run at all, don't run at the same time?
Step 8:
Optionally, you can test motor operation by activating
switch 4 in the “SETUP” DIP switch bank to initiate a self
test. The self test continually rotates the motor forward
and backward 2 1/2 revolutions.
I am concerned about your use of a small battery for the project. Have you monitored the battery voltage while trying to run the motors? Do you have a battery charger to keep the battery fully charged? Perhaps charge the battery WHILE running the motor tests.
