I am doing a PC/Mesa card retrofit to a Bridgeport Boss 5.
The original power, spindle with manual speed control, SMD and ACC cards and steppers are still good.
I am trying set up the pin outs.
Attached is my current guess at pin outs.
1) Are the xyzlimit switches, Start, Hold and EStop 24V input signals?
2) Are the Spindle Enable and Spindle Det 24V? Are they inputs or outputs?
3) Are the K8 wires that go to the SMD boards to be sent on 24V output signal from the Mesa card and is one wire a step signal and the other wire the direction signal per each XYZ axis? Are they sent encoded in quadrature signals?
Attached is my current pin out map.
