    CW230 Driver board Help

    I recently got 3 of this driver board everything works great except that when I try to jog or move a long distance the stepper motor moves at the beginning and then stops and when is finishing it starts moving again. I dont know how to fix that I want the motor to move for the whole time I press the arrows keys here is a spec sheet of the drivers

    Perhaps you can write down what you plan to do. Then we can tell you if you're on the right track.

    All you need are step and dir. The enable pin is needed on some boards. The limits are useful, but not absolutely necessary to get the motors moving.

    So all I need to do is wire the driver board to the step and direction, but what I dont know are the pins to configure in mach 3 because in the guide that show me how to set it, it does not say what are the input pins. Also thanks alot for your support I really appreciate it.

    Mach is completely configurable. Look under Config---Ports and pins.
