What are people doing about connecting the a-axis motor alarm wire? Daniel said you don’t really need it. Ugly Dog says it’s pretty important. Daniel said there’d be more info, but I don’t see any. Based on Ugly Dog’s video, it also needs power and a 10k ohm resistor? As I recall, the other motors use 5.6k? Planning to install my rotary today so looking for guidance. ---

There’s nothing here about it being necessary > **[Setup Rotary Axis](https://docs.masso.com.au/quick-start-guides/rotary-axis)** ---

I did some deeper digging… the motor page says 2.7k ohm resistor on the enable, not the alarm. I looked at my own setup and have 2 resistors in parralel… I’m assuming 2x 5.6k because at the time i had like a hundred of them. > **[MASSO Closed Loop Stepper Motors](https://docs.masso.com.au/wiring-and-setup/setup-and-calibration/axis-servo-stepper-examples/masso-stepper)**
