1.8.1
The Prodigy/CME PC/104 card has minimal user-adjustable settings. Most settings are software configurable. To
prepare the card for installation, the user-specified resistor pack options should be checked, as described in the
following table.

1.8.2
There are two configurations for setting up the motor output pins on the Prodigy/CME PC/104 GP Connector:
These motor output pins can be set up for use with DC Brush, Brushless DC, and microstepping motors, or the motor
output pins can be set for pulse & direction motors. The default setting is for all motors to be set for DC Brush,
Brushless DC, and microstepping.
The switch bank SW1 controls these settings, which apply on a per-axis basis. The following table describes the correct
switch setting for each output type. Figure 1-3 on page 17 provides a diagram of SW1, and Figure 1-1 on page 15
shows the location of SW-1 on the Prodigy/CME PC/104 card.

Power to the card should be turned off when changing the state of the SW1 switches, and care should be taken
not to set both switch pairs on (for example both 1 and 5 on, or both 2 and 6 on etc.) or damage may occur to
the board.
