Thank you Steve and Bob,
Before I try this again, I just ordered the ribbon cable to db25.  I suspect it may be the cable i'm using.

SmartBOB controllers and dedicated accessories / Xylotex Stepper Box and Smartbob 422

Hello,
Has anyone tried to use a Smartbob 422 with Xylotex stepper drive box?  When I try to connect the stepper motors they make a bad noise and run continuously.  I noticed there is a PMDX-103 isolater board, is that necessary to interface the xylotex driver box from the Smartbob 422.  I also noticed that there is no "com" reference pins on the Xylotex box only Step and Dir.

This is the Xylotex box that I have: 4AX_40V_425_DB

Also I am running Mach 4 with USB to the Smartbob422.
