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.
