In that case, look at the drawing at http://jelinux.pico-systems.com/images/uscgecko.pdf for the electrical connections. The file emc2/configs/univstep/univstep_io.hal has all the assignments to correspond to that drawing. All the files in emc2/configs/univstep are a set that are preconfigured for a 4-axis system using the Universal Stepper Controller. These files should be in any EMC2 system created since this spring, although later versions of EMC2 have all sorts of improvements.
