Help Mach3

[Mikes Planes]

Hi,
I contacted Geko and they will not repair due to costs. I dont want to buy a new one incase I have the same problem
This is what I have, but the break out board has a parallel port connection.

I wouldn't touch a TB6600 driver (or this whole kit) with a bargepole!!!!.
DM556 from stepperonline all the way.

So. Are you saying you have that kit but don't have the STB5100 cotroller, just the stepper driver board and generic 5 axis parallel bob?.

One would assume that you could get a jst-xh cable and link the 2 boards that way.
Have to check the manuals to see if the wire order is correct but the little connectors inside the white plugs are easy to swap around.

Hi, If I buy four DM 556 can use my break out board I sent a pic off?
I dont want to spend money and find I have the same problem!!

This one?

Yes.
PC+ (5V+) To ALL pul+, Dir+ (&En+ if you use it) on the drives.
Pul- (pins 2,4,6,8 on board) to Pul- on drivers.
Dir- (pins 3,5,7,9 on board) to Dir- on drivers.
For En- I used p14.

Or the little white plugs. Mine are marked +5v, CLK, CK, EN. (CLK is pul, CK is dir).

Then used p16 for coolant and p17 for a relay NC position (had grief with the onboard)

Is all here:

To be honest. ANY board that has pulse, direction, enable, 5v+, 5v-, can run a stepper driver.
