1. Step out
2. Step in
3. +5v out
4. Half/Full step select
5. CW/CCW Select
6. Enable
7. Ground
8. Fast osc
9. Slow osc
10.Ground
Now of course I can understand the ground and enable probably wire up
to common and enable on the breakout board. but I have no idea how I should wire the Direction and Step.
Any help would be appreciated.
BTW, I've read the PDF provided, and its still not clear to me. |
The enable from the BOB goes to the enable on the driver.
The common on the BOB goes to the ground pin 7 on the driver.
The step on the BOB goes to the step in on the driver.
The direction on the BOB goes to the CW/CCW select on the driver.
If you want full steps you connect half/full to ground, for half steps leave unconnected.
Step out on driver is left unconnected.
Fast osc and slow osc are left unconnected.
