The following is a brief description of the two connectors of the Driver.   

 

  Control Signal Connector P1 Pins 

Pin No. 

Signal 

Functions 

Pulse + 

Connect to +5v dc  

Pulse - 

Triggers motor to move 

Dir 

Connect to +5v dc  

Direction - 

Triggers change in direction of rotation 

 

 

 

Please  note  motion  direction  is  also  related  to  motor-drive  wiring.  Changing  the 
connection of two-wires for a coil to the drive will also reverse motion direction. 

    SW4 OFF for Pulse and Direction and On for CW/CCW operation.
