    KFLOP to 3x Stepper drivers - Basic Wiring

    Hi All,

    I want to use KFLOP to run 3 stepper drivers like these to convert a milling machine to CNC

    https://mro.ecvv.com/product/New_Clo...808_pid4979614

    I just have what came in the box with KFLOP - (so a lead to connect to JP7.)

    Will all 3 stepper drive outputs fit on JP7 (I assume they need to use one of the 16 I/O pins..)

    Is it normal to connect the Enable +- from JFLOP to the stepper driver?

    How do I configure Kmotion to tell it what is on each pin?

    I've been reading the Kflop documentation for ~4 hours but still not sure about these basics, if there is a wiring guide and basic set-up please point me in that direction, most of the stuff I see uses Kstep so my set-up will be different.

    You will need to connect Step and Direction pins and +5V for each drive. See here.

    yes. Is the enable on the drive isolated from motor power?

    see the above link and also this on channels.

    See the links above. Since your drives are Step/Direction like KStep the software configuration will be very similar.
