We are using the ''Modular Motor Driver Connector'' for all of our connections between motor drivers and breakout boards and motion controllers. It is based off of a IDC10 connector, and interconnection wires can be made cheaply and easily from flat ribbon cable wire. The pin layout has been in use since 2005 and is backwards compatible with controllers from [[PlanetCNC]] and [[Polabs]].

==Enable==
A signal level of ground would be considered enabled, active high (3.3v - 5v) is considered enabled.

===Error / Alert Pin===

There is an error or alert pin that can be active high when the motor driver is experiencing problems. On systems that are equipped, the fault can be sent back to the controller and the machine can stop before resuming. On systems where there is no fault / error detection, this pin should be connected to ground. A signal low (ground) is considered safe. Active high (3.3v - 5v) should be considered as an active fault. On controllers that do not handle fault / error signals, this pin should be left NC (not connected).
