XLE 900x600 stepper/driver questions

[litterbox99]

I'm building a 900 x 600 laser using Light Object parts.

I have a question about the Stepper wiring and Dip settings for the driver(s).

The steppers on the XY table have six wires;

Black, Red, White, Yellow, Brown and Blue.

How does this translate to; U, V and W ?

Also,

What is the recommended Dip switch setting on the 3MD560
to match the XLE steppers ?

I thought I had read all the PDF's but I found a 57 series PDF w/six wires.

Looks like red/black= W, blue/white=V and yellow/brown=U

Current rating for the stepper is 5.2 Amps. Should I use this
for the driver setting, or should I set it to a lower Amperage ?

I still haven't found any info on the Steps per Revolution...

Micro stepping could be set to 3200, 4000, or 5000. When stepping change, the 'um' change
As long as the motor is not getting very hot (low hot or warm is normal), you're OK. Just check the motor current rating we posted
