There is shown a 5 volts connection. Is this going to a kflop under the snap-amp? Do I need to supply the snap-amp with anything other than the 10-80v motor supply.

The +5V connection shown is going to the KMotion board mounted under the SnapAmp.  If you have a KFlop board you should apply +5V power to the Molex connector in a similar manner.  SnapAmp+KFlop draws too much power to be powered directly from the USB cable.  Make sure you also remove JP3 on KFlop which selects USB power.  SnapAmp gets +5V through the 16 pin ribbon connector so no other low voltage logic power is required.
 
When attaching a SnapAmp to a KFLop also be sure to attach the 18 gauge black ground wire to the screw hole marked GND on KFlop.
