    Question Need Help with STB4100 board with TB6560 driver

    Hello all,
    I am kinda new to the diy cnc world. Can someone please tell me if it is possible to pair a STB4100 (Mach3 USB) board with MD430 (TB6560) driver?
    The board output seems to use a different labels than the driver inputs. one is step/dir/en/+5v and the other is using the pul+/Pul-/dir+/dir- etc.
    any help is much appreciated.

    +5V goes to Pul+ and Dir+.

    As Citizen said below.

    However.
    You can also use 'en' if you wish to enable or disable the drivers. (they are default enabled so isn't normally needed) I think it just saves a bit of power use when sat idle.
    So:
    Step
    goes to Pul-
    Dir goes to Dir-
    But then instead:
    +5V goes to Pul+ and Dir+ and Enbl+
    EN goes to Enbl-

    En (enable) is set on one of the outputs (ie: P14 on mine, then configured as output 1 = P14 in my ports/pins IO pages).
    This gives you the lowdown on what the 'en' label is.
