Hi all ,can someone please tell me if it’s possible to get a (stepper motor movement signal) from either the bob or driver to a relay? I’m using the tb 6560 driver and Mach3 Opto-isolated Parallel Interface break out board (USB Power Supply + Onboard Relay) bob and mach 3 software.
I want to have the stepper motor wires disconnected then have relays reconnect them when it receives a signal in Order for the motors to move on demand or via a cycle run.
Never disconnect wires from a power on stepper driver. That is the best way to blow up a driver.
If you want to disconnect it's better to use the enable input from the stepper driver. This will disable the output from the driver so you can rotate the motors free
Need signal to relay
