Machine-control pinout survey

A source-indexed study of machine-side connectors that future V2-Core retrofit labels may need to describe. Each record is tied to a named model, board, and revision scope where the source provides one.

The request

ok I want to study a new project, that project is a "box" in which there is a smoothieboard v2-core (without the stepper drivers), and it's a metal box with screw terminals all arund it, and people can wire it into their cnc mill or cnc lathe or other types of machines, wiring it to their stepper motor drivers or servo drivers, and spindle driver, etc etc. now the big thing I need to know to prepare this, is the "pinout" the name and types of connections inside those machines people would be rewiring using our stuff, like a tormarch, or an old mach3 machine, or other controllers/machine types we'd be a drop-in replacement for. so what I need you to find for me is as many (if possible MANY) different machines (let's concentrate on cnc mills, lathes, pen plotters, and lasers, for now), and for each find the name of their connecitons/wires, their "pinout" essentially, so we could contruct for each machine a big "sticker" we'd stick on top of our metal box (that contains the smoothieboard v2-core) so it's trivial for people to "wire into" their machine. please for now just find MANY different machines and their pinouts, and save those to src/docs/ in a html doc, with diagrams and any images you found from your source, and links, and visual elements and tables and anything else you think would be useful to document or figure out the wiring and to prepare the creation of our stickers and our "boxes".

Do not wire from this survey. A screw-terminal sticker cannot safely be finalized until the machine serial/revision, installed control board, V2-Core production schematic, interface ratings, and safety-chain design are known. This page records research facts and gaps; it is not an installation guide, electrical design, or safety certification.

What the sources support

DB25 maps exist

Tormach publishes distinct connector profiles for PCNC 440, older PCNC 770/1100, and 15L Slant-PRO. They are not the same map.

Some maps are internal

Several newer Tormach machines publish cabinet schematics and wire tables, but not a universal external controller port. Their serial/control variant matters.

V2-Core is unresolved

Checked-in V2 material does not establish a production Core screw-terminal map or complete external-driver ratings. No final Core-side label is justified yet.

Keep logic I/O, driver outputs, motor supply, spindle power, mains, PE, and safety circuits as separate label domains. Colors are only a reading aid.

Machine-side connector maps found

Tormach 770M / 1100M · internal J6 map is a restricted-source lead

The official machine-control-board pages identify separate drawings for 770M and 1100M, each with a “Stepper Control Cable Pin Assignments” chart at J6. The 1100M drawing is 37158 Rev I, sheet 5 of 12; the 770M drawing is 37361 Rev J, sheet 5 of 12. Both title blocks mark the drawings proprietary/confidential and state that the drawings and information may not be copied, used, or disclosed without prior written permission. This survey links the source pages but does not reproduce or transcribe their internal pin assignments. Obtain written permission or a separately authorized source before adding those maps.

Sources: Tormach 1100M Machine Control Board and 770M Machine Control Board. The linked pages show machine-specific internal ribbon/board connections, not a universal retrofit port.

Tormach PCNC 440 · DB25 J4/J10 to IDC26

The official article separates the PCNC 440 from the PCNC 770/1100 and 15L tables. It says the machine-side DB25 connects through a ribbon cable to IDC26 at the machine control board or MX3660. The table preserves published function labels; missing electrical characteristics stay unknown.

Older Tormach PCNC 770 and PCNC 1100 · shared published DB25 table

Tormach publishes a separate PCNC 1100/770 section. Several voltage observations appear, but the labels do not establish a conventional step/direction interpretation for pins 2–9. Record them literally until the exact controller revision and electrical interface are verified.

Sherline 8760 4-axis driver box · DB25 control interface

Sherline publishes the driver-box DB25 map and timing/logic statements. It is the PC-to-driver-box control connector, not a motor-phase connector. The 5-pin DIN motor ports are separate; the retrieved product page does not define the full pin-to-winding table.

Known from Sherline: logic high must exceed 2 V; logic low must be below 0.5 V; step pulses are active-low and at least 22 μs long. These are 8760 facts, not assumptions for another box or bare motor.

Source: Sherline 4-Axis CNC Driver Box product page, DB25 and parameters sections. It also states 24 VDC/4 A for the driver-box power system; this is not a DB25 signal rating.

Sherline Acorn 9400 → 8760 mill/lathe configurations

The 8760 has the documented DB25 pin roles; Acorn H6 output pins must be remapped in CNC12 to those DB25 roles. The pin column below is the resulting cable/8760-side DB25 assignment, while the axis column is the software configuration. These are paired controller profiles, not additional machine-side connector families.

Axis 2 (X)4 = Direction 2; 5 = Step 24 = Y Direction; 5 = Y StepAcorn X is assigned to the 8760’s Y input channel; confirm downstream lathe-axis wiring

Sherline’s lathe guide explicitly says pins 4 and 5 of the 8760 mapping are not used in this application, yet its later axis instructions assign the lathe’s Axis 2 (X) to pins 4 and 5. Preserve that apparent document inconsistency and confirm the exact setup before wiring.

Controller interfaces useful as reference profiles

GeckoDrive G540 Rev 8 · DB25, screw terminal block, motor DB9

The G540 combines a motion interface with four stepper drives. Its map helps identify a G540 retrofit but is not the machine’s OEM wiring. Motor DB9 connectors carry motor-phase outputs and stay separate from the DB25 logic connector.

Mach3 / parallel-port installs · configurable pin roles

Mach3 is software, not a machine wiring standard. A machine with a DB25 may use a PC port, external motion controller, breakout board, G540, or another controller. LinuxCNC’s official parallel-port guide likewise makes pin direction depend on port mode and permits output inversion; its stepper example is one configurable assignment.

Sticker rule: label a DB25 role only after identifying the installed controller/breakout and reading its active configuration. Connector numbering alone does not reveal the assigned axis, limit, spindle, or safety role.

Laser controller and machine-side findings

Ruida RDC6445G / RDC6445S · controller map, not universal machine wiring

The Ruida manual publishes a useful control-card map and distinguishes glass-tube and RF laser uses for the same pins. It does not prove which PSU, door circuit, water protection, or safety-chain arrangement is installed in a particular cutter.

Axis connectors label pin 1 DIR (open-collector output), pin 2 PUL (open-collector output), and pin 3 +5V output. The manual says direction polarity and pulse edge are configurable and that pulse/direction require common-anode connection at the motor driver. It does not make the rest of the cabinet wiring universal.

K40-style blue-box laser · MYJG40W PSU example, older community wiring record

The repository’s SmoothK40 guide describes one MYJG40W example and explicitly says PSU models and terminal labels vary; the author could not find a manual for that particular supply. It records labels including L−, FG, AC, G, P/WP, L/TL, IN, 5V, and +24V, plus one X/Y/limit harness variant. This is secondary, model-variable evidence, not a manufacturer pinout.

Repository sources: SmoothK40 guide and Blue-box PSU guide. They describe more than one laser-fire arrangement and warn about 3.3 V control outputs requiring a suitable interface for 5 V input hardware. Treat these labels as leads until the exact PSU diagram and machine revision are found.

Makerbase MKS DLC32 V2.1 · desktop diode-laser controller

Makerbase documents a configurable engraving controller and firmware profile. Its official wiki labels an air/cold-water-assist control SCL and describes 3.3 V/0 V high/low states; it also says higher-power laser PSUs require a separate supply, common ground, and TTL signal. The project README points to a wiring manual that returns 404 at the audited URL, so a complete connector map remains unavailable.

Public support material found here does not provide external motor-driver connector pinouts. Treat it as an internal-rewire case; preserve the machine interlocks.

V2-Core label gate

The machine source may provide a function name, but a printable adapter sticker must also describe what the V2-Core screw terminal accepts or drives. The required Core-side contract is not established by the checked-in sources reviewed for this survey.

Board identity
Freeze Core PCB revision, assembly options, and connector/reference designators.
STEP/DIR/ENABLE
Verify pins, pulse limits, voltage/current, reset state, protection, and populated buffers.
Inputs
For limits/probe/encoder, verify range, polarity, pulls, filtering, isolation, and common.
Analog/PWM
Distinguish logic PWM from rated 0–10 V spindle reference; verify scaling, frequency, isolation, fault state.
Safety
Document independent E-stop and machine safety chain; preserve door, water, key, and laser interlocks.
Power domains
Separate logic, field supply, driver DC bus, spindle output, mains, chassis bond, and PE.

Repository starting points: V2 Prime documentation, V2 schematic, STM32H7 pin usage, and historical V2 Kickstarter updates. Prime docs and schematic disagree on some header/probe details; the production Core map remains unverified. The pin-usage document identifies unbuffered ADC inputs with a 3.3 V ceiling; do not generalize that to every other Core I/O.

Next research order

  1. Obtain the released V2-Core production schematic and derive every connector’s electrical limits.
  2. For restricted Tormach drawings, obtain written permission or an independently authorized source before transcribing internal maps; obtain the 8L TD10829 serial-specific document and verify uncertain 15L pins.
  3. Find primary schematics/service docs for more mill and lathe controller generations. Record gated OEM interfaces as evidence gaps rather than importing unrelated legacy maps.
  4. For lasers, add exact PSU/controller/machine combinations and keep machine, controller, PSU, tube/module, and safety options separate.
  5. For plotters, prioritize products with documented external-driver or accessory connectors. Keep USB-only products with no board map classified as internal/closed.
  6. Promote no sticker to production until source and machine harness agree pin-by-pin and Core-side ratings have been reviewed.
Scope, evidence rules, and exclusions
  • Manufacturer/controller manuals, support pages, schematics, and repositories were preferred. K40 MYJG40W notes are older repository-authored secondary material.
  • Configuration examples are not machine standards. DB25/26 numbering does not determine axis, limit, spindle, or E-stop roles.
  • Internal cabinet wiring does not imply a plug-compatible retrofit port.
  • No mains, spindle output power, laser high-voltage, or motor-phase wiring recipe is provided.
  • Some Tormach drawing pages contain a proprietary/confidential notice restricting reproduction and use of the contained information without prior written permission. This page links to those sources but does not copy their images or transcribe their restricted maps.
  • The source page is stored in src/docs as requested. The separate research preview at smoothie-box-pinout-research.pages.dev republishes edits automatically; this is not part of the Jekyll documentation site.

Chapter 2 · Additional primary-source connector maps · 2026-09-23

Six additional scoped configurations

This chapter adds six configurations to the initial 25-row inventory. A configuration is a machine paired with the documented controller generation; it is not a claim that six unrelated connector designs exist. These four source families add substantial contact or terminal evidence. Controller replacement still requires identifying the installed machine harness and measuring the electrical interface.

Taig Microproto mill + TurboTaig 2.2

TurboTaig is a documented third-party board fitted inside a Taig Microproto controller. It converts step/direction commands from a single PC parallel port to the Microproto controller's motor-phase interface. The manual says the DB25-to-IDC26 ribbon uses J9 for Mach1/Master5/TurboCNC/EMC-style step/direction software and J10 for SuperCam User 1 mode. J11 feeds the XYZ controller board and J22 feeds the optional A-axis board. This is a mapped retrofit variant, not the factory pinout of every Taig mill or lathe.

Board-side field names are also documented: J1/J2/J29/J30 are three-contact limit inputs, with contact 1 ground and the middle contact the switch signal; the remaining contact can supply 5 V for an optical switch. J3 is the emergency input and J4 the enable-switch input. J5 selects PC versus switch enable ownership; in PC mode the relay-4 input becomes enable. The manual reuses some J numbers for jumper references in its later prose, so locate a connector from its illustrated board overlay and actual silk screen before labeling hardware.

Primary source: Homan Designs, TurboTaig Instruction Manual v2.2, pp. 3–12. The manual's input/output wording for DB25 contact 14 is reproduced only as a short disputed fragment. No electrical rating for the PC port or machine-side stepper phases is inferred.

Avid CNC Plug and Play controller · separate 17.4 and 22.2 revisions

Avid publishes a 14-contact external control cable for CRP800 Plug and Play systems and a 42-terminal map for the internal CRP850-00E breakout board. Both checked manuals have the contact functions summarized below. This is a router/plasma controller family; spindle contacts on a plasma controller and plasma contacts on a routing controller may be populated without being connected. The 22.2 manual also says some CRP860-00E M12 input contacts are not populated, so a connector's nominal standard is not enough to infer its live contacts.

Source discrepancy: The Avid control-cable table assigns analog speed to contacts 9/10, and both the 17.4 and 22.2 manuals' terminal sections agree on the breakout board's 0–10 V output. Nearby explanatory prose in both PDFs instead calls the cable pair “8/9”. Treat that sentence as an unresolved manual error; verify the contact-numbered table against the installed mating cable before a physical sticker.

The same manuals map the separate DB9 motor connector: contacts 1 and 5 are the current-setting resistor circuit; 2–4 are unconnected; 6/7 are B+/B− motor phase outputs (yellow/blue wires); 8/9 are A+/A− outputs (red/green wires). These are driver-to-motor conductors and cannot be landed on V2-Core step/direction terminals. The connector is useful for identifying an existing motor harness only after its installed driver and current-setting resistor have been checked.

Sienci AltMill / closed-loop LongMill · SLB-EXT board

Sienci says the SLB-EXT controller is used with AltMill generations and LongMills equipped with closed-loop steppers. Its official one-page pinout drawing, whose PCB image bears 2024-04-08, identifies ports by printed label. The drawing has contact labels but does not publish a numbered pin-1 orientation for the 2×4 motor-header positions. Preserve its literal terminal names and identify an actual mating harness before assigning physical positions.

LongMill generation check: Sienci's LongMill MK2 open-source page describes the older LongBoard controller and says MK2.5 introduced the SuperLongBoard. Their LongBoard details page lists X, Y1, Y2, and Z motor plugs plus SpinPWM, SpinDirection, limits, probe, and coolant interfaces for that different controller. None of the SLB-EXT contact labels below should be assigned to a LongBoard or SuperLongBoard by model name alone.

Original EggBot plotter · conditional EBB v2.4 board profile

The board designer says the EiBotBoard (EBB) was created for the Original EggBot; EBB revisions vary. The freely licensed v2.4 schematic makes a useful plotter-board pin profile when the installed EggBot actually has that revision. It shows two on-board A4988 stepper drivers, so the screw terminals carry motor winding outputs, not external step/direction control. The pen-arm servo uses RB1. Its optional external step/direction and 0.1-inch motor headers are marked “Do Not Insert” on the schematic; their existence in a drawing does not establish a populated retrofit connector.

Coverage after expansion

31 assessed configurations: 25 in Chapter 1 plus the six scoped pairings above. Of these, 18 have at least one explicit source-supported contact/function assignment: 12 of the initial records and all six additions. The other 13 are leads or connection records without an in-page numbered contact map. This is a record count, not 18 distinct pinout designs or 18 drop-in machines: several configurations share a controller map, and some assignments are ambiguous, partial, or board-only. There are still no production-ready V2-Core labels because the released Core screw-terminal contract, installed machine revisions, signal ratings, and safety circuits have not been reconciled. For a usable sticker program, make one record per actual machine/control combination and attach the source revision, connector view, wire identity, and measured or published electrical limits.

How the 18 assignment records and 13 leads were counted

Chapter 1 assignments (12): PCNC 440 (1), legacy PCNC 770/1100 (2, shared ambiguous table), 15L (1, ambiguous), Sherline mill/lathe with 8760 (2, shared driver), Sherline Acorn remaps for mill/lathe (2), G540 (1), C11G (1, partial I/O groups), Mesa 7I96S (1), and Ruida RDC6445G/S (1). Chapter 2 assignments (6): TurboTaig mill (1), Avid 17.4/22.2 (2, shared functions), SLB-EXT AltMill/closed-loop LongMill (2, shared board), and EggBot with verified EBB v2.4 (1). “Assignment” requires at least one explicit connector contact number or signal-to-terminal group in this page; it does not mean a complete pin map.

Chapter 1 leads (13): Tormach 770M, 770MX, 1100M, 1100MX, 8L (5); generic Mach3, Warp9 ESS, Centroid Acorn (3); K40/MYJG40W, MKS DLC32, Ortur Laser Master 3, AxiDraw family, and Makeblock XY Plotter 2.0 (5). These rows identify relevant hardware or source material but do not have an in-page numbered connector map. No additional lead rows were added in Chapter 2.

Counting, reuse, and label readiness

Each record denotes a named machine/control pairing or a distinct control generation documented for that machine. Shared board maps are identified as shared, and size or option variants without a distinct interface are grouped unless the cited source supports a separately identified configuration. The eight generic reference entries are excluded from the named-machine count. Contact assignments may be partial. The page does not claim 107 independent pinout designs or finished V2-Core labels.

Manufacturer images are linked as sources instead of copied. The diagrams here are original text and CSS locators built from published names. For a sticker, verify machine serial, actual PCB, connector mating view, cable and wire identities, electrical ratings, safety circuit, and a production V2-Core terminal contract. No profile passes that complete gate yet.
