Controlling stepper motor with a DRV8825 driver

[ced...@gmail.com]

In order to build a sampler, I use a stepper motor to move a tray along a linear rail. I'm using a NEMA 17 size motor with a step angle of 1.8° and a peak current of 1.68A/phase.
The stepper motor and the driver are mounted as follows: 

I also set the current limit to 1.0 using the formula: Current Limit = VREF x 2 x 70% (for full step mode)

Finally, my motor connection is as follows: (after checking the pairs with a multimeter)
B2 : blue ; B1: red ; A1: green ; A2: black.

My problem :
-> all the connections seem ok but my stepper motor makes an abnormal strident noise as soon as I feed it...
-> when the power is on, its impossible to turn the motor by hand
-> during my first tests with the stepper motor( 1 week ago), he responded well to the code (despite the shrill noise). But today he doesnt answer at all. I think the condition of the motor is getting worse as I test it.

#import Arduino library
from bbio import *

#Define pins
stepPin = GPIO2_3
dirPin = GPIO2_4

#Set the pins as output
def setup():
             pinMode(stepPin, OUTPUT)
             pinMode(dirPin, OUTPUT)

def loop():
             digitalWrite(dirPin, HIGH)
             for i in xrange(0,200,2):
                         digitalWrite(stepPin, HIGH)
                         delayMicroseconds(500)
                         digitalWrite(stepPin, LOW)
                         delayMicroseconds(500)

              delay(1000)

run(setup, loop)

Has anyone ever used this driver to control the stepper motor? I said that I already tried to control it with an EasyDriver but my stepper motor needs a minimum current of 1 to 1.2A to activate the coils (easydriver: max 0.75A continuously or otherwise 0.85A).

Try this link if you haven't already,  Uses different library.   works good and aviods a lot of your code.
