General Mach Discussion / Re: Help with setup of driver and breakout board?

Hi Pog, looking at your photos you have it wired wrong.
In Mach Config / Ports & Pins / Motor outputs set X step Pin#2, Dir Pin#3 ; Y step Pin#4, Dir Pin#5 ; Z step Pin#6, Dir Pin#7 and set these active low then on your breakout board P2 will be X axis Step and P3 will be X axis Direction and so on.
P2 (X step) will connect to your driver PUL- and P3 (X dir) will connect to your driver DIR- and so on.
Your breakout board needs it's own + 5Volt and GND supply connection.
As far as I can tell the controller enable is left unconnected as is PUL+5 and DIR+5
Make sure your steppers are connected correctly before trying anything out (incorrect connection of steppers can be fatal to the controller).
Hope this helps.
