Schematic Overview
The schematic below shows you how we connected the motor and mechanics to the TMCM-1110 stepRocker board. The power supply connection can also be seen.

Schematic Specifics
Power Supply
The power supply for the stepRocker is a +10v-30v input. I didn't have a proper power supply to use with this system, so I'll just be using two battery backs connected together to get about +14v for a power supply.
Limit Switch Connections
The limit switch is nothing more than a pushbutton switch and it connects R1 to ground when it is pressed. Any other time, the limit switch should be open-circuit.
Stepper Motor Connections
This stepper motor controller can only control bi-polar stepper motors so make sure your motor has 2 coils. Double check the datasheet to see which color wire from the stepper motor connects to what part of each coil.
