    Default Clarify me about ENABLE

    I am building a new cnc mill using UCCNC, UC300ETH, stepper motor 1700 oz in, ST-V2 BOB. I am a bit confused on ENABLE. On pic attached, ENA + and ENA - from DM860A driver are not connected to anything on BOB, is it OK? If ENA+ and ENA - not used, why they make them available on driver. On some other wiring pics I saw on DM 860 A driver, ENA + is connected to +5 VDC and ENA - is connected to ENA on BOB.

    So what is your recommendation on this matter ? Connected or not connected the ENA.

    On this BOB, I have not installed E-stop, limit switch and probes, should we have the terminals on E-stop, limit switch and probes be connected to NC switch in order the BOB to work..

    The drives are enabled by default with no connections.

    It's up to you whether you want to use them or not.

    Thanks for the info.

    If I do not want to use USB 5V, but I have external 5V PSU, can I connect external 5V PSU to terminal PC5V on the BOB (there are 2 terminal PC5V on the bottom right corner BOB)
