Hello,

Im a hobby photographer in The Netherlands.

Im making a simple setup to move 2 stepper rails on the X and Z with only buttons and no computer.

I have bought cheap components in China. Im not a electronic specialist so i bought a compleet cnc board and i not want to work with computer or arduino or so.

The components i use i attached as photos.

Im almost sure i attached the motor the right way to the motor driver. But im not sure if the wires from the driver are connected good with the control board.

The drivers i powered with a 12v 5a adapter. The board i power up by USB cable.

When i put the power on the system the drivers both will show a red light. The control board is powered up and reacts on pushing the buttons on the remote. And when i power up i hear the motors react. But with pushing the buttons on the remote the motors don't react. What did i do wrong?

I just want it to work with pushing the buttons on the remote! No PC or so needed.

Try this:
XN goes to EN-, DIR- and PUL-. This is the common.
XD goes to DIR+. This is the "Direction" signal.
XS goes to PUL+. This is the "Step" or "Pulse" signal.
XE goes to EN+. This is the "Enable" signal that turns the stepper drive on.

Hello,

Thank you for the response.

How must i do it to wire it from XN to the other three ports?

Just loop short pieces of wire from EN- to DIR- to PUL-.

Hello,

Is it possible you can tell me whitch motor cables i must switch to reverse the direction?

Switch A+ with A-.
(Or switch B+ with B-, the result would be the same.)
