Stepper Motor Connector
There are eight 5-pin XLR powered stepper motor driver outputs, labeled 1 through 8.
Each output is driven by a Geckodrive G250x.
Use a 5-pin male XLR connector to wire your stepper motor to the output of the DMC+.
NOTE: These are high-current, powered outputs. Take caution when wiring up to them.
Wiring

2. A-
3. GND
4. B
5. B-
The current output to your motor runs at 1A, 2A or 3A. This is controlled by the switch
on the front of the DMC+ for each channel.
The voltage for each channel is 30V. This is not configurable.
Choosing a Stepper Motor
You must choose a stepper motor that can run at 1A, 2A or 3A and 30V.
Here are some motors we recommend (many others will work as well):
Anaheim Automation 24Y204D-LW8
NEMA 24, high torque step motor, 56 mm length, 2.0A, 8 lead wires, dual shaft.
(This motor is used to drive the Volo’s track and swing axes.)
Anaheim Automation Nema17
(This motor is used to drive the Volo’s pan/tilt/roll head.)
