    Connecting tb6560 board to arduino uno

    Hi, I am totally new to CNC and I really need help in connecting my tb560 board to arduino. I really need the information of which pin of arduino board connect to which pin of tb6560 parallel port. I am running on a Window7 64bit laptopand seems like RGBL seems like my only option.
    I have totally no idea about the pins of the tb6560 parallel port hence any information will be helpful.

    Thank you.

    See https://github.com/grbl/grbl/wiki/Connecting-Grbl

    For example, connect the x axis as follow

    tb6560 arduino
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    pul+ -----470-1k resistor-----output 2
    pul- -----ground
    dir+ -----470-1k resistor ----output 5
    dir- -----ground

    You should not have bought a 6560 board. Most of them don't really work. Get a 6600 instead.

    Re: Connecting tb6560 board to arduino uno

    Hi Guys.

    I too have some TB6560 boards for my projects.
    I don't know whether there is a difference between the TB6560 and the TB6560 V2 boards which I have but mine use optoisolated inputs with a current limiting resistor on the board (elcheapos off eBay). I learnt the hard way on my PIC 'powered' project that if you use an external current limiting resistor between your microcontrollers output and the pulse and direction inputs that the resulting voltage may not be high enough to register.
