I've lurked around and read several of the threads about this...
What I'm wondering is, did anyone ever figure out the correct wiring scheme for the Epilog? IE, which wire goes where, if using a non-vexta/oriental motor? As I understand it, the diagram for a 2 phase unipolar stepper has something like step, common, and direction for phase A (3 wires), then the same for phase B (3 wires). Has anyone tried to trace the wires on the cabinet mounted connector down to the driver on the motherboard to see which ones are which?
I do recall someone mentioning which driver Epilog used for the rotary stepper, but I cannot for the life of me find that thread again.
I've got a Legend 32 that I'd like to do some rotary stuff with and I'm willing to experiment a bit to save a grand and wind up with something more suited to my purposes, but I'm a little concerned about damaging the motherboard.
Mostly, what I'd like to do is:
Beer glass engraving
Curved (but not necessarily fully cylindrical) wood engraving.
Any help at all would be most appreciated.
