Hi
I bought a complete control box from cnc drive. I have come to the connection of stepper motors. I have 2 stepper motors for my y axis. on the switch cabinet only an input with a y axis is marked, where should that stepper motor be connected?

One more thing, when I stand in front of cnc which motor should where, right left motor ??

I would wire the second Y motor to the B axis.

You can connect the motors to any motor connectors in the control box, then you have to configure the axes as per your connections.
