You will need some logic like this to get you drives doing with Step/Dir signals.

Dennis,

Thanks for your assistance on the zone..

What part numbers/schematic do I need to make this?

Are there premade ones?

I have 9 of these drives that need these....

Regards,
Justin

I have some stepper drives with the same CW/CCW interface...

I also would like to know how to utilize MACH 3 with them....

...since MACH 3 only seem to allow one step, and one direction, per axis...

don't want to attempt slaving to fool it into driving one axis...

My servos are now up and running, I just connected them directly to the printerport.
1 wire for dir and one for step, the other to conections in the pulse train i conected to the paralellports ground.

cory,

pleeease.....what where the terminals labeled on your drive that the step and direction wires connected to ? (cw+/ccw+)?

Grounded the rest?

Pin 1-2-3-4 on Cn1 1 and 3 beeing step and dir and 2-4 beeing ground

Dont have the paralellport diagram in front of me, so i can not tell you right now if 1 or 3 is step and the other one dir.,but ill see if i can find it
