Gene; See the attached pdf I made. This is the pinouts as I read them from the ebay display images. It doesn't answer everything and I think you will want to use the B axis for spindle control since this BoB only provides for On/Off but no direction. Another oddity if I read things correctly

Mesaflash allows you to change the IO configuration, but only to a number of premade configs, not arbitrary. The GPIO has few limits but the location of special-purpose STEPx/DIRx pairs are fixed. But those locations change based on the mesaflash file you use. Danny Gene Heskett wrote:

Greetings all; Those breakout boards I bought 2 of arrived today, and are apparently pin assigned according to what a mach3 system might use, including the male db25 on the pcb. It apparently has pre-assigned output pin groups that are about as incompatible with a 5i25 as could be. I never did
