KL-5056 Step Driver power supply.

Post by karben14 »

So I understand that the KL-5056 step driver also needs a 5 volt power supply. I am a newbie so this was not obvious when I bought them. Can I use a power supply from a computer since they have a 5 volt output?

If I read the manual on that drive correctly, you might be better off taking signal from the DB25 connector.

But the KL 5056 does not have a DB25 connector. I am new to this and building my first machine so please excuse my ignorance.

Looks like a good solution, got my DB25 breakout board on the way.
