Hello List,
Thanks to all who responded to my questions over the last couple
days. After the marathon soldering session last night, X motor
turns!! I pulled the +5VDC from the computer power supply and ran it
as a separate wire along the parallel cable. The second parallel
port I installed is not working yet - still have to fight with that.
But, overall - SUCCESS! Thanks to all for the help. This is a great
list!
Another question - how can the "extra" output pins be configured for
step/dir signal out on my "B" axis? Currently there are 8 Data Out
signals, plus the "extra" 4. With 5 axis, I need 10 Data Out pins.
