The first thing is to see if theres standard configuration that matches the pinout of your 4 axis stepper board. Take a look at the pinout files for these standard parallel port compatible 5i25 configurations: 5i25_dmmbob1x2.pin 5i25_g540x2.pin 5i25_mx3660x2.pin 5i25_prob_rfx2.pin 5i25_r990x2.pin (they dont have to be an exact match, encoders and PWMs can be disabled, allowing the pins to be used as inputs or outputs but you want the step/dir pins to be correct) These files are part of Mesa's 5I25 firmware distribution in http://www.mesanet.com/software/parallel/5i25.zip > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server > from Actuate!
