Okay. I found a solution:
a. Use more tools/parts.
b. Components are key here.
c. I noticed on the omc-stepperonline website that they do not recommend using 3.3v logic but that it can work if done properly.
Thank you @heke for putting up with me. I appreciate you sticking with me on this build.
I am working on a solution in the form of a schematic. Bear with me.
I am not sure exactly how to provide the schematic so far with Fusion but I will keep trying.
Fusion has the 74HC126 but it is a bit difficult to perform specific operations for now to me.
Also, I used a conversion outside of the 74HC126. Oh and thank you for allowing me to understand about the removal of higher amperage out to the motor from the driver. I think this made a good fit for my testing.
