Note: If you connect the A and the public side, after connected directly between A and the public side is the conduction of;

if you are connected to B and the public side, the connection is completed only between B and the public side pull drive

when is the turn of.

4、5 Road stepper motor driver interface：

Can connect a total of five stepper motor driver, the definition of top-down followed by EN CW CK VCC GND, representing 5 Road, enable signal, the direction of the signal, pulse signals, 5V, ground, as shown below:
