Board standoffs ?and my drivers arent listed?

And in that video the STEPPER drives are wired to the DB25. That's where they go.

You may or may not need the enable lines wired up but you wont know until you wire up the step and direction lines and power up the drive with the motor connected to see if the stepper motor locks.

All this information is in the install manual, please take some time and read it thoroughly. It also has links to the breakout board you'll need to make wiring it up easier.

I hope people see this and this is where I start my build thread I'm told?. My god, it's been one year since I posted last, my apologies and I hope to get things moving with my build/retrofit. I'm still recovering but I had a close call as I woke months ago only to discover I couldn't breath, off to hospital, full saddle pulmonary embolism. Massive blood clot in both lungs. So all projects halted to at least I could walk to letterbox without being out of breathe. Anyway back on track now first pics to come cheers Pete

Hi Pete, where in Aus are you? I'm down in Ballarat, just completed an Acorn6 retrofit of my Bridgeport mill. Hopefully you are close by and we can get together.

Cheers,
Richard
