TB6560 4 Axis Stepper Motor Driver
Posted: Wed Jan 11, 2012 4:32 pm
I just purchased a TB6560 Driver from Lightobject, which I would like to drive using an Arduino connecting the digital pins to the Parallel interface on the TB6560
Would I be able to connect the Arduino Mega's output digital pins directly to parallel port, being that (I believe) the on-board TB6560 parallel port pins are opto-isolated?
How would I drive the Enable Pin, leave at 0 V all the time, or does it need special processing for each step?
One last question, the direction pins obviously need to be high or low depending on direction - but how about the step pins, transition from low to high for each step?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
