Hey rich,
Yeah, its J4 on the single axis board. I was just wanting to put one
switch for all 4 axis so when flipped all 4 axis would be "free" (J8
for 3 axis, J4 for single axis). From what I understand the single
axis is/can be a stand alone but I am sure Dan can comment more on
this. The only thing I have noticed it lacks from the 3 axis board
are the 2 LEDs. I am not sure what the "DS1233" is but there is no
chip on the single axis board that matches those numbers. The only
thing I take off of the 3 axis board is +5 volts. The rest is
connected as the 3 axis board. You can connect it "through" the 3
axis but I did not understand at that time how to/ did not want to
burn anything out, so I hooked it up more "independently."
