Parallel Port breakout boards, motherboards, and dedicated accessories / How to wire a Sherline 8700 controller to a PMDX-122 for 4th Axis in Mach3?
« on: February 05, 2018, 08:32:08 AM »
Hello everyone. I have been using a PMDX-122 board with three Gecko 203V drivers in Mach3, and I am looking to add a 4th Axis with my Sherline 8700 controller in slave mode. Normally, I would connect the step, direction, and ground from my 203v drivers to the 122 board.
Would I need to connect the 8700 controller in the same way as the 203V's, or just need to connect the step and direction only? Just making sure that I don't damage the 122 board or the 8700 controller by plug and pray. Thanks.
