Anyone familiar with this breakout board?

Hi All-

I've been lurking here for a couple of months, and I'm finally ready to start working on my first cnc mill. I'm pretty familiar with machines and operation, along with electronics. However, I am new to hobby cnc. I'm in the process of building a 3-axis cnc mill. I have some Superior Slo-syn stepper motors with IMS IB462 drivers. Obviously, the next step was to acquire a breakout board to hook everything up to the computer (with Mach 3). Based on the good feedback regarding Keling CNC's customer service, I bought a card from them on eBay. Unfortunately, the card came with absolutely no documentation, and the download from Keling's site is for a "C10" board which is completely different from what I received. Here's the board I received:



I have no idea what the jumpers are for, or how the I/Os are assigned. What is the "VDD" terminal for? Is there an enable input so I can add an e-stop? I'd like to completely integrate my mill with the computer: enable, e-stop, limit and home switches, etc. Are pins 1,14,16, and 17 available as auxiliary outputs for a 4th axis or relays to control spindle, coolant, etc.?

Like I said, I very familiar with mechanics and electrical hookup, but a little documentation would go a long way here.

Thanks in advance for your help!

While most of this looks straight forward, if you want to implement the works, then you will need a schematic. It is odd that Keling didn't send sometthing or at least a link. They are good about providing at least the bare basics. If you haven't tried, shoot them an email.
I'd consider it pretty useless without a schematic. A straight pass through BOB would suit you better.

I just installed a CNC4PC Bob and speed controller on my mill yesterday. The jumpers on it was the difference in it working or not with some Gecko 203V's.
