Hi.
Recently I purchased SP705 power suply, M880A driver, 57HS22 stepper motor all from Leadshine and breakoutboard
from next image

I will get 5V from USB.

Please help me configure driver, wiring motor to driver and configuring EMC2 or Mach3 to do a simple 1 axis test

Thank You in advance

Err... does the mfgr you purchased the driver, etc... from not have that documentation? Wow...

Something has to tell you which parallel port signal goes to which P# on that break out board. If there are no docs, you will probably just have to tell your CNC software to put a signal on a pin, then run some sort of job that exercises that pin and look for a signal with a meter or logic probe down the line of P# pins.

Then you need to figure out which pin is which on your stepper motors. If there are no docs, this page may help:

I have the documentation. but moor doesen't move a bit
I have W7 - 64 bit and mach3. I think Mach3 is not compatible with x64 environement. So i tryít in ubuntu x32 and emc2 but still no result.
I think is a wiring problem.

This is the wiring i made
The motor is 57HS22
What is worng
And what is the mach3 settings
Or EMC2???

Did you find solution to your problem?
I am waiting the same board to arrive,your wiring looks ok to me.
Did you try to change active low/high setting in mach3?

Why nobody connects enable pin on this drivers?

Found the manual for this DB25 breakout board if anybody needs it:

How do I connect an old stepper driver with cwp +, - and ccwp +, - to a new break out board with pulse, com, and step? Should I use a flip flop that will send the pulse to cwp + when dir is high and ccwp + when dir is low and connect cwp - and ccwp - to com?

Also, does anyone know if and how I can add optical feed back into my breakout board? I'll attach photo's of my breakout board and stepper driver with labels.

I also have some other questions I have posted in my blog and would appreciate any help or direction, so please feel free to visit my blog on my punch press project.
