General Mach Discussion / TB6560 single axis hookup
« on: July 01, 2013, 11:42:14 AM »
I have a TB6560 single axis board http://www.sainsmart.com/new-cnc-router-single-axis-3a-tb6560-stepper-motor-drivers-board-for-axiscontrol.html "documentation" here>> http://www.sainsmart.com/zen/documents/20-019-200/Tb6560%20stepping%20motor%20driver%20...pdf with the inputs marked as "EN+ EN- CW+ CW- CLK+ CLK-"
I actually got this board to run with an Arduino to test some steppers, but it looks like I should be able to get it to run in MACH. So, sorry for questions about baby steps, but...
The documentation says "6 input terminals can be connected as common anode or cathode".
So I tie the CLK- and CW- and EN- to ground, right?
And if I want to call this "X" axis, I'd hook CLK+ to step pin 2, and CW+ to dir pin 3, and EN+ to pin 14 and green check those pins in ports and pins... per http://pminmo.com/mach3-setup
thanks,
C
