You can create your own configuration file or have Stepconf do it for you. Check here: http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html//config_stepconf.html You can start Stepconf from the same menu you start EMC. I assume this matches your pin assignments: (from http://www.sherline.com/8760pg.htm ) ... DB25 pin out: 1 - Input from EMC (may be ignored in other systems) 2 - X Direction 3 - X Step 4 - Y Direction 5 - Y Step 6 - Z Direction 7 - Z Step 8 - A Direction 9 - A Step 10 - NC 11 - Output to EMC (may be ignored in other systems) 12 - Output to EMC, XYZ home (may be ignored in other systems) 13 - NC 14 - Input from EMC, C1 (may be ignored in other systems) 15 - NC 16 - Input from EMC, C2 (may be ignored in other systems) 17 - NC 18-25 - Ground ... For the items that you don't know what data to enter, the default might be a good choice. You will likely need to adjust your settings to match your particular setup so don't worry too much about the data you start with. I haven't used Stepconf so others on the list can provide better advise.
