    Help usb smooth stepper bsmce04-pp on plasma

    Greetings
    Can anyone please help, I’m attempting to wire a usb smooth stepper bsmce04-pp,for my plasma table, I got as for as getting the motors to run but no luck in setting up the limit switches as there are no PIN numbers on the board so I don’t knw what to tell mach3 on the input signal page ,does this board need to be powered as the db 25 bob? ,how do I knw where the common ground is for the limit switches? What port number do I choose?

    Help will be highly appreciated.

    That's not a Smooth Stepper.
    Where did you get the board from? There's no manual?

    According to a manual from a newer version of the board, try this:

    I1 = Port 3 pin 1
    I2 = Port 3 pin 2
    I3 = Port 3 pin 3
    I4 = Port 3 pin 4

    Ok I got right.... According to another pdf I found in the manual ,the port number must b 3 and after doin that ,the red reset button bottom left came to life and I am able to change active low to neutralize the reset button ,but I’m unable to trigger is via a limit switch on the board itself, I also see in one of the PDFs the board is powered with 12/24v to the 24v and DCM pins.. is it really necessary to power it?
