    Motors and driver arrived, just waiting for power supply and breakout board to test them out.

    Now the big questions:
    -what would be the ideal setting for the drivers? amps and microsteps?
    -whats the correct wiring for the motor and driver? series/parallel/other?
    -what type of connectors and cables should I use to connect motor and driver ? 18awg 8conductor? ethernet cables?? please point me to a site that sells good ones or is normal cat5/6 sufficient?

    edit: sorry I kinda felt dumb asking the last question, now I understand that the 8 wires from the motor would be paired so the cable should be 4 core as stated in other posts. and I guess ethernet is ok for connection between stepper driver and breakout board?

    however what would you recommend to connect the motor cable? straight up soldered into the long 4-core or connectors?
