    Hi
    First post, a noob as far as electronics is concerned.
    I've made a desktop CNC engraver from mild steel plate and aluminium for engraving soft metals.
    The design is a larger version of that made by Myfordboy, a modified Banggood.
    Chinese linear bearings, 500 watt spindle.
    Will show when I have it working.
    Will show construction if people are interested.

    Problem
    I've got a UNO R3
    Connected an Arduino Shield on top
    I have 4 wire ribbons connected to the XYZ pins (headers?)

    I need ( I think) to connect 4 wire ribbons to the signal side of TB6600 driver
    I can find no info on what the 4 pins represent for the XYZ headers.
    I've loaded a pic at beginning of post which I presume will load

    So what do each wire on the ribbon represent starting from the the letter X, Y or Z


    Thanks in advance DaveZ

    The ribbon cables you have connected are for the motor. The stepper shield is made for the A4988 stepper drivers, and if you want to replace those drivers with something else then you need to connect your drivers instead of the A4988, i.e. wire the driver signals STEP, DIR and EN and of course GND from the stepper shield to the new drivers.The motors must then be connected to your new drivers and not to the stepper shield. Also remember that the new drivers must be connected to the motor power supply, not the stepper shield. I made a quick picture, hope it makes it clear for you.
