I'm hooking up my new AXBB-E and I have a few questions I hope someone can help me with. I know absolutely nothing about electronics, but I can follow simple directions. Right now I'm doing the wiring on my Microstep Drivers and things are going well with assigning the axis Pin #'s on the AXBB-E, but I don't understand the 5V aspect. To me it looks like the Microstep Drivers have the Direction(-) wired together and connected to the 5V0 INPUT (the one labeled POWER INPUT with the red LED right next to the 24V INPUT) is this correct??? I'm seeing 3 different things labeled 5V0 on the AXBB-E. It also looks like I need a separate 5V power supply connected to the same Power Input, I just want to make sure I'm doing this correctly so I don't release the magic blue smoke. I really appreciate any help, thank you!

No, use the "Power Out" 5V0 or 5V+ terminals. Section 9.2 in the manual explains this.
You need a single 5V power supply and a 24V power supply connected to the "Power Inputs" section. The "Power Out" terminals get there power from that 5V power supply.

Thank you for the reply, I'll give that a try. I guess the confusion is because the diagram ( 11 .Example drawing.) in the manual has the stepper motors going to the Power Inputs and the 5v Non Isolated outputs aren't on the diagram. I appreciate your help and clearing things up for me!

You're looking at the wrong diagrams I think.
