Got a stepper and drive - but how much use is it to me?

[Pete.]

And the news is - it works like a BEAUTY! I soldered it onto a piece of veroboard and off it went first time, no pull-ups required.

What can I say John - thank you so much for your help with the circuitry. Long way to go yet but I feel I've leapt a giant hurdle just getting one motor to respond to the jog key.

[John Swift]

Hi Pete ,

I'm glad I've been able help

 now have you been able to jog the motor

1) you have proved your PC's printor port is working OK
2) mach 3 or what ever software your using is set up correctly
3) and the stepper drivers are working
4) the ULN2803 adaptor is wired correctly
 
thats a great success in my book
