Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

I’ve been researching all weekend on these drives. It looks as though there are 2 common ways of hooking up these drives I found this quote The centroid Acorn works with and motor that accepts Step and Direction inputs. The dm556 can work in common cathode or common anode wiring setups. the Step, Di...

C326EE3F-51AC-41BD-9B23-53EF2178905A.png I understand that it shows a dia for the Dm556. That’s what comes up on that page. I’m wondering if it’s a copy of the dm556. If this is a copy your exactly correct When looking at the dm556 manual the schematic showes 2 ways of hooking it up. I believe mill...

Millright had it hooked to their board with the positive to their step and dir and they had the negative side all jumped to ground (enabl...

I forgot to add I’m thinking it’s not a 5v logic. I’m thinking that pul+ and dir+ hook straight to the step and dir on the respective axis connections on the db25 connector. Since the way it was hooked before was pul dir + was hooked to step n direction on the grbl board and not jumped with 5v.

Is anyone familiar with this driver. I’m hooking it up to my acorn and am using the db25 connection. It was hooked to millrights grbl control board straight to the step and dir + and the neg side of step and dir is jumped to ground. I did find a little info on the driver. See the picture below Quest...

I’ve hooked up the stepper plugs and step and dir wires I tried to find the manual for this stepper driver (can’t find it) I was trying to figure out if it’s a 5v logic which looking at the old grbl board the step is hooked up to pul + and pul - goes to gnd. So I hooked this up to the db25 Step 1 to...

I have it all mounted I’ll wire it tomorrow. There are a lot of schematics, could you point me in the right direction of the ...

I bought them no problem. I’m hooking up the box today. If I remember correctly the guys on the forum recommended to hook the wires from the drivers to a db25 instead of directly to the acorn board. I’m not sure why that is… I ordered a db25 and it’ll be here in a couple days. I’ll have to look into...

Looks like I found them plugs on Amazon, I’ll get the plug. It should be here Monday. (I wasn’t sure I could find them Google lens is amazing!)
