The output connector offers two general purpose outputs, one power supply voltage output, and one

hardware shutdown-input. Leaving the shutdown input open or tying it to ground will disable the motor

driver stage in hardware. For operation, this input should be tied to the supply voltage.

The input connector offers two inputs for stop switches (left and right), one home switch input, two general

purpose inputs and one connection to the system or signal ground.
