    if u still around, could u please send me a pic of your entire circuit with break out board n drivers connected together with the psu.

    Kinda stuck at that part..
    The connections are documented here:
    techref.massmind.org/techref/io/stepper/linistep/lini_use.htm

    And there is a nice, clickable block diagram here:
    techref.massmind.org/techref/io/stepper/linistep/4axis5build.htm that shows how it all goes together.

    hey mr. james,
    Checked the cost of the pcbs with the shipping and the customs charges, here in mumbai..totally, it makes it a lil expensive for me to ship it to india.

    so guess, for a while im stuck to building them myself..built the sam waters version but cant figure out the connection for ground, for the power supply...
    Been asking a lot of "electronic guys" around, but no help.
    But learning a lot about electronics!

    this is what iv made till now..forgive me my shabbiness..

    Sorry I've havn't been around lately

    Here are some more pics of my setup and a wiring diagram I put together.

    The boards I drew up are designed to hook together at 90 deg angle to each other...

    Hope the pics give you a better idea of how they go together.

    Am really glad you replied...was finding it difficult to come up with a solution by myself...really helped.
    Im using wires to connect the board to my driver..not tested them yet though.
    And, wow that a real neat board uv built.

    so are there any specific settings to set up the software ? (i was, actually giving up on running your version, till u replied)??
