Stepper Driver Enable Pin was created by northernstepper
Hello all, I have a question about the enable pin on my stepper drivers, I have 4x DM542T stepper drivers from Stepper Online connected to my Mesa 7i76EU. Is it recommended to connect the enable pins to the Mesa, and if so where should they be connected to. Or should I leave them unconnected.

Yes, at least for now, till you get the machine working properly.

They are actually disable pins, not ensable. Its best to leave them disconnected as you have enough to worry about for now. Sometimes they are useful for estop but as Tommy says leave well alone for now;
