Silly me! I thought Up/Down and Step/Dir is the same... > If your spindle is not reversible you could connect the step line to > either Up or Down, and run it that way. Well, it is reversible. Maybe I should build a simple step/dir to quadrature converter. That shouldn't be too hard. Thanks for enlightening me!
