Hi,

I almost done building my 1st machine however I'm having difficulties with the pins of the parallel cable. I'm using "Keling KL4030 with C10 breakout board kit". I would like to wire my parallel cable from the CNC driver to the computer but I'm not sure about the diagram. I have lots of parallel cabels but I'm almost sure that standard printer cable is not wired correctly to operate the CNC driver. Does it standard wiring from pin 'x' to pin 'x' or something else?

Thanks

You need a 25 pin male pin D-sub connector on each end (unless your CNC driver needs a 25 pin female connector) and the wiring is pin 1 to pin 1 through pin 25 to pin 25. A "straight wired" cable.

Thanks.
If I understand correctly - all i need to do is to wire pin 1 to pin 1 then pin 2 to pin 2 then pin 3 to pin 3 and so on to pin 25 to pin 25.
I'm double checking because I afraid to make short circuit which might damage the computer or the CNC driver.

I'm rookie with electronics.

BTW I saw that in standard parallel cables from old printers the wire are not straight.

Thanks again

You are correct. Each pin on one end goes to the same pin on the other end.

No grounds or jumpers between pins of one connector or crossed wiring between pins of both connectors. You can buy a straight wired cable at computer stores. A shielded cable is best.

Spaltiel,

Is that network cable (Cat 5 cable) you're using to hook up your motors? I've read that its current carrying capacity is only around an amp or so (individual conductors are only 24 guage). Then again, it looks like you might be doubling up the cables to each motor, which I suppose would double up the current carrying capacity. Can you fill us in?

Hi Steve,

It is parallel cable with 25 pins like the one which was used to hook up old printers. I asked about the wiring of the cable (which pins to wire).

Spaltiel,

Where did you purchase the wiring your using for your motors there?

Spaltiel,

I bought from standard electricity store which also sell shrinking tubes, micro-switches, lamps and etc. It is standard 1.5 mm flexible wire.
