I'm undertaking my first CNC build and I need help wiring up my electronics. I purchased the motors, drivers, breakout board and power supplies as a kit so I know that they are all compatible. I have just three basic questions for now.
1. The schematic for the wiring shows that the motors can be wired in one of two ways; either (Red & Blue to A+, Yellow & Black to A-, White & Brown to B+, Orange & Green to B-) or (Red to A+, Black to A-, Yellow to Blue, White to B+, Green to B-, Orange to Brown).
What is the difference between the two methods? I suspect the difference is torque and speed but does anyone know which is which?
2. If you notice the wiring schematic only shows a single wire coming from each drivers "Enable + (+5v)" going to the 5v+ on the breakout board.
Do I also need to connect a wire from each drivers "Enable - (ENB)" to the GND on the breakout board?
Can the breakout board be powered in this way from the drivers or does the breakout board need its own 5v power supply?
If I need to provide a seperate 5v power supply to the breakout board does the power connect to the + & - that the drivers are connected to and do I leave the drivers connected to the breakout board as the schematic shows?
3. If you notice each driver lists the options for Pulse/Revolutions which I understand to be the steps. Does anyone have any suggestions on which Pulse setting I should configure the drivers to for best performance from my motors?
I have included pics of the drivers, motors and breakout boards as well as the wiring schematic and information on the drivers & motors. Please let me know if more information is needed in order to help answer my questions.
Thank you.
