Hi

Im currently building a CNC router and have bought a HobbyCNC Pro 4 axis controller. I have started to build the controller box and had some good 5 pole contacts that I wanted to use. The instruction manual for the controller specifies that the controller can handle 5 lead steppers.
With the steppers included in the kit (Nema 23 steppers) the instructions specifies that 6 poles can be used and that 4 leads should be connected to the same 2 connectors (COM) on the controller Cirquit board.

I now wonder if I can use these steppers with only 5 leads so that I can use my connectors or do I have to buy new connectors with 6 poles?

Please advice
