Need Help!- StepGenie Software

[Z.K.]

I have a StepGenie Demo board that I am finally getting around to using, but I seem to have lost the CD that came with it. I was able to get a schematic from the StepGenie website and the motor diagram from the company, but I was not able to get the software from them. I guess I would have to buy another demo board. I was just wondering if anyone has any software or source code that would work with the StepGenie Demo board. I would actually like to write my own software in either C# or C++, possibly Java, but I have no experience controlling a stepper motor. Any help would be appreciated.

Since it uses the parallel port I assume it uses a step and direction pin like most others.

If this is the case just download the trial version of Mach3 or EMC2 and play with the pin settings until it moves.

Okay, thanks. I thought about that, but I was not sure if that would work as I have never used that software before.
