Thanks Dave! Yes, I did get the some of the pin-outs from that site. Another provided numbering for 4 pins used to send back missed step errors to the PC. With some experimenting I was able to set up three axis, spindle and aux control using stepconf. I am not sure how to set the stepconf Drive Characteristic (type, time, space, hold, setup) times. Currently I am using 5us for all values with some success. Also using stepconf, I was able to test motoring the axis and with some experimentation, arrive at a very good speed and smooth sound/pitch from the machine. Using emc, I can load a design and start the spindle. This is where I am at now. I have confidence in both the machine and the software but I need to read further to complete my configuration. Currently all my designs fail with range errors on all axis which leads me to believe that I need to read on to learn about axis limit settings. Thanks again.
