Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Help with 8-wire stepper configuration

Thank you, Ed! I will try this out tonight. Also, thanks to all of the
other suggestions. Before I asked the question I searched the compumotor
site and found diagrams, but nothing with the wire colors. I guess I didn't
look in the right places, ;-).
