Todd,
This is an old DPF72004, as I recall you leave that wire disconnected for half step, I will check with them to confirm.

pl7i92,
This drive has an odd layout, dip switches for some things but not for the stepping, maybe because it's older.

Thanks again for the help.

We still have a couple of machines running those old
drives at work.

Old Stuff is in Most Cases better then the Newer ones
so stay as long as you can with them

I don't think that really applies to these. Newer bipolar drives can have better performance and are significantly cheaper to replace than these old uni-polar drives. I'll continue to repair the old ones if I can, but I doubt I'll ever buy another one.

I email AA to determine what the proper way would be to half step with the drive I mentioned earlier; and if just disconnecting the terminal in question would be appropriate, here's a copy of the response:

"I was suggesting this for testing purposes, the best way to do this would be to designate that terminal as open through the controller. I would not know how you would do that with your controller however."

Any ideas on how to "designate" the terminal in LCNC?
