MK4 + 3 MM120 2.5A bipolar stepper motor controller
The MK4 is a 4-axis stepper motor breakout controller with a DB25 PC parallel port compatible port. The MK4 routes parallel port signals to the 4 stepper motor driver ports. The MK4 has 4 limit switch inputs, eStop input and four auxiliary open collector outputs. The MK4 requires an external 9VDC power adapter. The MK4 supplies power to the MM120 drivers. A free application (GStepPP.exe) is available for download from our web site that allows the user to change the step mode of each MM120 through the parallel port.
Note that the drivers are provided with screw top motor connectors rather than the clip type shown in the picture.
