Hi.. My name is Bill Lewis. I have a background in 3d virtual reality and well.. to make a long story short.. I'm very impressed and excited about Mach3. Separately, I need some help with a driver and stepper motor that has an IN with the markings +5, A, B, C, D, GND. Still, Im not exactly sure how to hook these up to my parallel port. I watched the introductory Mach3 videos and from this I understand that pin2 = step / pin6 = direction / pin 10 = X++ / pin 11 = X-- and is shared with Xhome. Still, how do I hook up these connections?. Also, which pins on LPT1 can give me the +5v and GND that this connection requires?
The diagram for this driver is as follows:
CW D C B A CCW
dwn 1 1 0 0 UP
0 1 1 0
0 0 1 1
1 0 0 1
Please help.. thanks.
