Wiring a Gecko Driver board | | I hope someone has wired one of these up??
My question for now is this. How does the board connect to my computer?? I already see how to connect DC power and the stepper motor phases. There is a terminal called
"disable" that must be for an emergency stop. Next, there is
"DIR"; "STEP"; "common". Hopefully my computer connects to these terminals. Would like to run this from the printer port so I'll need to know which pins use for each axis.
My first CNC project used a Xylotex board which was real easy to hook up.
Thanks
