In terms of wiring, I believe that I have things wired correctly, but I have a question, the stepper connections only require two wires, one for step and one for direction, is this correct? Is there a way for me to test the integrity of the # 4 module? I appreciate the quick response.


In addition to step and direction you need ground or 5V depending on the drive

The module 4 error means you have a hal file issue where you are asking for more stepgens
than the firmware has available (you probably have a "num_stepgens=5" statement in your
hal file but have firmware loaded tha has only 4 stepgens and a pwmgen)
