    Need signal to relay

    Hi all ,can someone please tell me if it’s possible to get a (stepper motor movement signal) from either the bob or driver to a relay? I’m using the tb 6560 driver and Mach3 Opto-isolated Parallel Interface break out board (USB Power Supply + Onboard Relay) bob and mach 3 software.

    I want to have the stepper motor wires disconnected then have relays reconnect them when it receives a signal in Order for the motors to move on demand or via a cycle run.

    Thanx
    Bradley

    Never disconnect wires from a power on stepper driver. That is the best way to blow up a driver.
    If you want to disconnect it's better to use the enable input from the stepper driver. This will disable the output from the driver so you can rotate the motors free
