I think I need to move my stepper controls to the db25 header.
Can someone explain the connection to me plz?
the db25 connection has:
output
input
step
direction
Here is my current setup:
On H2 of acorn board:
H2->step1 to stepper driver pulse -
H2->Direction1 to stepper driver direction -
H2->Enable1 to stepper driver Enable-
H2->common to common terminal in control box
How to move the above setup to a db25 breakout board?
Thanks for the help.
You are not providing enough information. We can't "SEE" what you "SEE"
What make and model drives are you using? Post a link to the manual.
(Guessing at your drive hook up):
You should provide +5vdc to the
+Pul
+Dir
+Ena
terminals of the drives. You can get that from the Acorn Power Supply that ships with Acorn.
Then you take:
-Pul
-Dir
-Ena
and connect them to the Acorn Header terminals Step, Dir, ENA
You take +Alm from all drives and connect to an INPUT usually Input 5 and assign to DriveOk
You then take -Alm and connect it to Acorn Power Supply COM
The above is "TYPICAL" for a 5V logic drive to be connected to Acorn Step Dir headers
Please provide the information I asked for, link to your drive manual.
