New driverboard 4wire stepper wiring problem.

[ros2468]

Hello,
Figured id wire this driver to a 4wire stepper.
Now the driverboard have a 4 wire output that says this 1-EN, 2-DIR, 3-STEP,
4-COM.

What i guesd of this is that DIR & STEP Is two mains and other two (-),
But from mach3 when i test the motor it wont turn more than 1/2 step. (( AND THE DIRECTION SEEM TO BE WORKING))

Can you provide more information on your setup?

Perhaps a photo or a link to your driver and breakout board, as well as a diagram showing how you have wired them together would be useful.

[ros2468]

Yes, good request. here is a link

Now the driverboard have a 4 wire output that says this 1-EN, 2-DIR, 3-STEP, 4-COM.

2 and 3 are step and direction inputs from the parallel port. Not outputs to the motor.

The picture in your link looks like it is showing the terminals of a "breakout board".

If you have wired those terminals to the EN-, DIR- and PU- terminals of your stepper motor driver, have you also wired +5 volts to the EN+, DIR+ and PU+ input terminals of your driver?

How do you have Mach3 configured?

Hello,

The instruction manual i have says 2=DIR 3=STEP. thats how i setup mach also why i wired the DIR & STEP as (+) and EN & PU as (-).

As ger21 stated, you can not connect a motor to this board.

There must be 4 other terminals, usually labeled A and B and something like -A and -B or something similar.

EN is the enable pin from Mach3 and the COM is probably the parallel port ground.
