Hello all,
I am kinda new to the diy cnc world. Can someone please tell me if it is possible to pair a STB4100 (Mach3 USB) board with MD430 (TB6560) driver?
The board output seems to use a different labels than the driver inputs. one is step/dir/en/+5v and the other is using the pul+/Pul-/dir+/dir- etc.
any help is much appreciated.

As Citizen said below.
However.
You can also use 'en' if you wish to enable or disable the drivers. (they are default enabled so isn't normally needed) I think it just saves a bit of power use when sat idle.
So:
Step goes to Pul-
Dir goes to Dir-
But then instead:
+5V goes to Pul+ and Dir+ and Enbl+
EN goes to Enbl-
En (enable) is set on one of the outputs (ie: P14 on mine, then configured as output 1 = P14 in my ports/pins IO pages).
This gives you the lowdown on what the 'en' label is.
