5307 forum posts 83 photos | I've bought one of these off e-bay It's arrived, but no wiring diagram. I can work out the motor connections, and I might work out the inputs, but no idea what the various switches do. I guess the red block sets the microstepping, but no idea on 3 black ones. Anyone got any ideas? I've tried and failed on google, and have messaged the vendor |

2032 forum posts 41 photos | The silkscreen shown in the "details" of that link. Details SW1 -3 and S1 set current And otherh functions for S2 to S6 S2 stop current S3, 4 micro stepping ( mode) 00/ 1/ : 01 /2: 11/8: 10 /16 S5S6 decay.. 00 0% 10 25% 01 50% 11 100% ... ... It apears that in the time taken to type the above ..others has also provided solution Edited By jason udall on 10/03/2016 17:28:56 |

![]() 19226 forum posts 749 photos 86 articles | It looks like the three black switches plus the first red one set the drive current. Red 2 is the hold current between moves Red 3/Red 4 appear to set the microstepping level Red 5/Red 6 decay, presumably how quickly the current decays to the hold level. Neil |

5307 forum posts 83 photos | Thanks chaps, Sometimes one can really ask a silly question, as MichaelG and LesJ say it's printed on the board, but you need a very bright light to even see there is something there, never mind read it. I hadn't spotted it. The link from Russel is much more helpful.
Thanks again |
