Hi Adam
what Geckodrive stepper drivers do you have ? the photos not clear enough to read the model number
What control software are you using Mach 3 ????
( looking in the ports & pins you can see what functions have been assigned to the pins so you can wire the controller the same as before)
what PC are you using ?
assuming your machine connected to the PC's parallel printer port
its possible that the wires where connected directly to a 25 pin D-type plug
but I would use a breakout board & 5V power supply to buffer the outputs from the printerport and make the connections easier and avoid soldering to a 25 pin plug
if thats a 12V fan next to the stepper drivers you are missing a 12V power supply
John
PS
is this the stepper drivers in your control box ?
do the two solid state relay switch the spindle & dust extractor ON & OFF
with no control of the spindle speed
some thing like CNC4PC's
C10 break out board should do all what you needLast edited by john swift; 11-09-2018 at 12:27 AM. Reason: add Geckodrive G201 PDF manual & ref to C10 BOB
