That piggy-back board makes the drives into standard step/dir drives, and allows the computer to control the axes independently. Without that PCB the computer needs to select which axis to control, then send the phase pattern data. It would be relatively simple to link the two with something like an Arduino, but needing 15 outputs and 6 inputs I think it would need to be a Mega, and cost about the same as a complete new driver board. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
