    I'm having wiring issues

    Hi,

    I'm based in australia and recently bought myself 3 new bipolar stepper drivers, a breakout board and powers supply.
    The company that supplied the drivers is called 'LeadShine', dunno if anyone is familiar with it and the breakout board is from an aussie company called 'ocean controls'.

    Any to get to the point, my breakout board has 2 terminals for controlling each motor . One is labelled "s1, motor 1 step output" and the other is "d1 motor 1 direction output".

    Now on my driver there is 4 terminals.
    "Pulse signal+ (+5v)"
    "pulse signal-(pul)"
    "direction signal+(+5v)"
    "direction siganl+(dir)"

    What are the terminals exact functions?
    Could someone tell me how to wire these up?
    So far i just fiddled around attaching different wires to different terminals trying to get a result but the little stepper i have just doesn't budge.

    cheers
    Anton

    Put your clock into pulse + and pulse - goes to ground same for direction.

    connect two + pins of the drive to +5V, and connect two terminals from your breakout to drive's related - pins
