My stepper config has this: " ... # connect enable signals for step generators net Xen axis.0.amp-enable-out => stepgen.0.enable parport.0.pin-01-out net Yen axis.1.amp-enable-out => stepgen.1.enable parport.0.pin-06-out net Zen axis.2.amp-enable-out => stepgen.2.enable parport.0.pin-16-out ... " This enables the software step generators as well as the hardware motor amps.
