3. Hardware Installation
3.1 Selecting and Connecting Stepper Motors
WARNING: INCORRECT WIRING OF THE STEPPER MOTOR TO THE DRIVE BOARD CAN LEAD TO
IMMEDIATE DAMAGE OF DRIVE BOARD - DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT MOTORS WHILE POWER
IS ON.
4 Wire, 6 Wire, and 8 Wire stepper motors can be used.
4 Wire motors are recommended as they are by their manufacture true bipolar motors and easier
to properly connect to stepper motor drive controller.
It is critical to obtain a proper motor coil diagram of any motor you wish to utilize (making cross
connections between the two coils will destroy the control circuitry).
1.8 deg per step resolution is the industry standard for most automation grade stepper motors
and is recommended for most applications.
a. 4 Wire Stepper Diagram
Each wire is connected to its corresponding terminal block location (i.e. A- wire is connected at A-
location).
b. 6 Wire Stepper Diagram

Center wire of each coil not connected (insulate termination). Remaining wires are connected to their
corresponding terminal block location (i.e. A- wire is connected at A- location).
c. 8 Wire Stepper Diagram
2 center wires of each coil connected (insulate connection)
Remaining wires are connected to their corresponding terminal block location (i.e. A- wire is connected
at A- location).
If using 6 or 8 wire motors, connected using series wiring method, reduce labeled amperage rating by 50%
(i.e. a motor rated at 4 amps should thus be considered now rated at 2 amps).
3.2 Connect to Computer by DB25
The following is to aid in the setup of the use of controller with various CAM software programs
operating on your computer.

It is critical that your computer has parallel port DB25 outlet, If your computer does not feature a DB25
outlet, you must install one, (these can be achieved via PCMIA cards on laptop computers). The use of
adapters and hubs is not recommended and most likely will not work.

6. FAQ
1. Q: For long time working, the aluminum housing very hot, it’s normal?
A: Yes. It’s normal, at normal temperature, housing temperature reach 90℃ is normal.
2. Q: How to confirm A+, A-, B+, B- of stepper motor?
A: Choose two wire randomly, connect them, see if there is resistance when run the motor shaft
using finger, if there is resistance, then you take these two wires with A+ and A-, and the rest of
the wire will be B+ and B-.
3. Q: There is vibration when motor running or noise when motor locking, how to eliminate it?
A: You can try to set the decay mode to eliminate it.
