I've been struggling for days now with the tb6600. I've downloaded lots of code but when using the -4.0 .h file, I'm not sure which pins go where for 8, 9, 10, 11.. For instance is EN- or + 8? Is DIR = 9 pr Pul- or + = 10. I've read all the basics on my bipolar motor. I'm using 23HD76002Y-21B stepper motor connected to the TB 6600. I can make it go clockwise and counter clockwise but that's about it. I can't control the steps because when I use any of the examples, it shows in the Include# Stepper.h which I've read looking for clues as to how to connect the TB6600-4.0 to the Arduino pins but still not working. This is my code.

#include <Stepper.h>
char receivedChar;
boolean newData = false;
const int buttonPin = 2; // the number of the pushbutton pin
const int BluePin = 10; // the number of the LED pin
const int GreenPin = 16;
const int YellowPin = 14;
const int RedPin = 15;
int buttonState = 0; // variable for reading the pushbutton status
const int stepsPerRevolution = 200;
Stepper myStepper(stepsPerRevolution, 8, 9, 10, 11);

Serial.begin(9600);

Sorry not sure how to add it in it's own box like you guys are doing. I just want to insert a character a b c or d and rotate the Stepper Motor from 0 degrees to 90 degrees to 180 and 270 degrees respectively. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
