hoss, on the c6 board can you just use a wall wart power supply to provide the proper voltage? Does it have to be a 12v @ 200mA or can i get a common 12v@800mA? Do you need anything from the breakout board to the c6 board to drive it? I am using the probotix sidestepper kit http://www.probotix.com/manuals/3Axis_SideStep_manual.htmand this breakout board with it(this has the pin out of the breakout board) http://www.probotix.com/manuals/PBX-RF_manual.pdf . Can you help me figure this wiring setup out?

if you want to use the probotix board, you'll have to use the A axis outputs to connect to the C6
Use pins 8 and 9 and the GND next to them.
You could add a 2nd parallel port for about $15 and another breakout board, the C10 is only $25
and not have to give up an axis, you'll actually gain 2 more plus a bunch more inputs and outputs for accessories.
Any 12v wall wart will do, cheap is just fine.
