Hi Jim and Tweakie
With basic electrics (household, automotive and boats), I can normally get by, but when it comes to electronics my, my understanding is virtually zero.
From what I have researched, there are plenty of short comings with the TB6560 boards available. Some guys have re-engineered their boards to get them working.
Due to the lack of variety of what is locally available, I purchased one together with motors and a power supply. For now I am stuck with it, till a better solution can be found and therefore apologize for the headaches caused in helping to get this board up and running.
The DB25 parallel cable, that was supplied with the board got damaged (left it lying about while busy and 1 bored Labrador had a go at trying to digest it). A company that makes cables, supplied me with another. This they say is a straight through cable (wired pin 1 to 1, pin 2 to 2, etc).
(unable to do a pin to pin check as the cable is chewed through in the middle)
This therefore could be the start of my problems.
Question 1: can you verify or supply me with the correct the male to female pin configurations for the cable?
