Gecko driver pinout for teensy 3.2 AccelStepper disableOutputs function

Hello,

I control a stepper motor with G201X gecko, the manual is here G201X / G210X REV-6 | GeckoDrive.

Before that I used other cheap driver that I control with a teensy 3.2 board. I use AccelStepper library to control the driver and it has a function that can disable the driver when is needed disableOutputs (). I just connect the enable pin of the cheap driver to the teensy and is working.

Now with gecko, I connect the same pin to the same digital pin of the teensy but is not getting the command. What should I do?

Thank you

Post a link to the datasheet for the Gecko driver.

Post a diagram showing your connections.

Post a simple test program that illustrates the problem.

#include <AccelStepper.h> //
AccelStepper stepper(AccelStepper::DRIVER,10,11);
int enable_pin=12;
stepper.setEnablePin(enable_pin);
stepper.setPinsInverted(false,false,false);
stepper.disableOutputs(); //this is not disable the outputs.

From the Gecko link

TERMINAL 7 Disable

This terminal will force the winding currents to zero when shorted to TERMINAL 12.

You don't seem to be doing what they say is required?
