Don't feel alone on the documentation thing. I bought my package from Candcnc, everything was assembled and tested, came with a cd with all the software and manuals and drivers and what not but certainly no step by step instructions on installing the software. I spent a week figuring it out, mind you Ed or a host of others here would have had it going in an hour.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

What kit did you buy Dallen? There were so many missing or non standard issues in the wiring diagrams that came with my kit, I actually would have been better off following my own instinct. It was only through some rather extensive internet searches that I was able to sort things out. Maybe I can be of some help Dallen if you post a link or photo if the kit you bought?

I purchased the stuff you see in the photo as a kit from Wanti Motors.
I was able to get two of the drivers too run the motor you see in the next photo
not sure whats exactly going on with the Z axis yet but got tired of messing with it for the evening, I know its not the wiring on the motor as it runs of both the X and Y drivers.
I checked both terminals 6 and 7 with a meter and 6 is the pulse which should have a varying voltage and 7 which should have either 5 volts or no voltage, the voltage on both of them is around 2.5 volts not sure whats going on. may be the cheap cable they sent with the stuff, I went to get one from the computer store but ended up with the wrong one.
found a bad wire on output 7, now have all three motors running.

I have found no documentation online explaining how to hook this up but sounds like it would be as simple as wiring to a ground and 5v input and then assigning it in Mach3?
Thanks again Ed

You could either use a switch as shown below or if you have an available output you could drive it using your software by hooking up the EN+ to +5V and the EN- to an output from the breakout board.

I'm actually a little surprised at how poorly this is all documented. Nothing impossible but definitely leaves room for improvement by hardware manufacturers.
