Hello , my name is Davide and I'm trying to configure Jedicut with this board :
5 Axis control board JK05-K6

From board's the manual I read that the parallel port settings should be :

Pin 1 : all A, B, X, Y, Z axis enable input
Pin 2 : X pulse
Pin 3 : X direction
Pin 4 : Y direction
Pin 5 : Z direction
Pin 6 : A pulse
Pin 7 : A direction
Pin 8 : B pulse
Pin 9 : B direction
Pin 10: X limit
Pin 11: Y limit
Pin 12: Z limit
Pin 13: A limit
Pin 14: Relay input (spindle)
Pin 15: ESTOP
Pin 16: Y pulse
Pin 17: X pulse
Pin 18/25: GND

Now, since I have no idea on how to change the parallel cable pins, there is a way in Jedicut to assign the correct pins to the motors that requires pin 16 and 17 for direction?

Thanks
Davide

Hello and welcome Davide !

With Jedicut, the signals for steppers have to be connect to pin number 2 to 9. So you have to buy to parallel port connector and wire to do the transformation.

Why Jedicut works like this. It's a hardware question. To control parallel port our computer use 3 register. In order to have good speed, it's better to put all stepper signals on the same register called "data register". With this solution we can send 8 signals at the same time. We can't send signals on 2 different register at the same time.

I hope I'm clear

Thanks for the response.
So i can make a parallel/parallel adapter inverting pins 4 and 17 (in a flat cable they are adiacent so i only need to twist the 2 adiacent wires) to obtain a setup like this:

Pin 1 : all A, B, X, Y, Z axis enable input
Pin 2 : X pulse
Pin 3 : X dir
Pin 4 : Z pulse
Pin 5 : Z direction
Pin 6 : A pulse
Pin 7 : A direction
Pin 8 : B pulse
Pin 9 : B direction
Pin 10: X limit
Pin 11: Y limit
Pin 12: Z limit
Pin 13: A limit
Pin 14: Relay input (spindle)
Pin 15: ESTOP
Pin 16: Y pulse
Pin 17: Y direction
Pin 18/25: GND

Do you think this solve the problem or do i need other changes?

Hello

You understood everything !

Do you try to do this ? Any other problem ?
