Hi David
Not that I can read in the instructions. They'll probably send me a mapping diagram later today. Their support has been really good so far.

Day 8
Got the board connections sorted out. They are there but in a slightly different location. So I got those connection sorted and moved on for a couple more steps, just to discover I am missing a lot or wiring (like a parts bag is missing). Another email off to the company and wait for parts.
Happy, happy, joy, joy

Day 9
Still waiting on the wiring to show up (hopefully today), but in the meantime, the machine has found its final home and the mechanical build is complete. Add old laptop and touchscreen and things are starting to shape up.

Steppers are pretty simple. Usually 4 wires, which make up two pairs. To figure which are pairs, connect any two motor wires together and try to turn the motor. If it doesn't turn, that's a pair. If it does turn swap one of the wires out and it should not turn.
I can't tell of those are closed loop steppers but even if they are the motor wiring is the same.
If they are closed loop steppers the encoder will need different wiring but this diagram might help.

For STEPPERONLINE's closed loop stepper motor with a GX-16 and DB-15 connector, the wiring sequence is as follows:

Nice, I have a question or 2:
Where did you get the drip tray? Its a better fit than the Costco one I got (but was only $9).
And what are you planning on doing for work holding? I made a little fixture plate, but I want a vise type device as well, either modular jaws for the fixture plate or a low profile vise. Just looking for what others are thinking.

The tray came from Amaz. WirthCo 22x22. A bit pricy but it'll last. My Machine came with a vise and pins to hold it in place, but I'm planning on a fixture plate as well.
Not just yet. I did the wiring pre checks and didn't like what I saw. Might have a bad connection so I'll get my electronics guy to double check. Meanwhile I'll get Mach3 all setup and ready to go.
