Hi Ken,
If you have things runnings with freqmod, stick with it. There is
a nuance (bug?) in the steppermod code that needs to be addressed
that I'm told doesn't exist in freqmod. I just mentioned steppermod
because it is the one I had modified to swap the step & dir.
Remeber that you will need to wire over the GND pins in your cross-
over cable. The driver board only actively uses DB25 pins 2-7, all
others signal pins are passed through to one of the two Molex
headers, so these do not necessarily need to be wired up. If you are
going to add a 4th axis and use the 4th axis add-on cable then you
would want to wire DB25 pins 8 & 9 over (and cross).
