IGNORE the ENA. The drive should be enabled by default.

Buy the DB25 male breakout board from Amazon

I hooked my drives exactly like Marty shows here, (common Cathode or common negative ) and I have movement! Thank you all for the help on this. When I started I had no idea that there was a thing as common Cathode or common anode but when I don’t understand something I go full nerd and research until I understand what I’m trying to do. Richard is correct above this drive has opto-couplers and can be hooked up either way. I did end up getting a manual but it’s in Chinese!
Again thank you all for the help!
