Motor Output Configuration
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 switch
setting for each output type. Figure 4-3 on page 71 provides a diagram of SW1. See Figure 4-1 on page 69 for SW1
location on the Prodigy/CME PC/104 card. In the following table, the individual switches are numbered from left to
right.

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.
