setting axis A in spindle mode

Hi Ladybreaker

do you have the pulse generator ?

and did you get any instructions with the board ?

two possible ways of connecting the pulse generator to the stepper driver







are you fitting the pulse generator inside of your CNC control box as a permanent fixture

if your connection to the control is via the parallel printer port
its possible to make a modified printer cable to make a temporary connection between the pulse generator and the CNC control box

to save soldering 25 wires
connect an IDC plug and socket to a ribbon cable




then cut a ground wire and the step & direction wires for the 4th axis from the plug
then connect the pulse generator to the 25 way socket
