Subject: Kflop + C-23 Breakout board.
I´m trying to use Kflop with my C-23 Breakout Board from cnc4pc  with steppers only.  Kflop works fine without C-23 but when I try to use it X and Y motors doesn´t move, (only z axe). Wiring seems it´s all ok and C-23 works fine all axes with Smooth Steeper Board.  Any suggestion?

Sounds like a wiring or configuration problem. 

I assume you realize the pinout of JP7 is not the same as a PC Parallel port. 

To test the wiring and hardware cycle power so that KFLOP is in the default configuration. Then use the Digital IO Screen to set the Step/Dir pins as outputs and toggle the Step output. The motor should step one microstep for each toggle. This would normally be IO bits 8 and 9 for the X axis if you are using Step/Dir gen #0 for X.  If it doesn't use a voltmeter to find the problem.

-JP7 to c23 it´s ok wiring.
-Kflop it´s ok configured because all motors works fine without c23.
The only odd thing I see it´s that c23 it´s giving +5volts through all the pins used to step & dir conection to kflop, also without kflop connected. Is this normal?
