G'Day Guy's,
Well with confirmation a pico zero can run the Y axis via the DM556 micro stepper I don't think I need a PIO when the CMM2 can handle everything.
So now I have the step resolution using the zero where an average of 432 steps for a 0.098" movement with gives the X and Y axis 0.00268"
.
I have made up a interface board to get the signals to the CMM2
I will have to use the enable signal as when enabled and not used the stepper just heats up. So my plan is use baby steps and do each task at a time so I learn to program as I go.
As I have a heap of those proto boards I need to make up an opto isolated board so the CMM2 pins are protected. I do need to get more dinkle connectors and tallying up an order for Altronics so I can finally get the 18 zener and 10nf 3Kv caps which will give me everything to finish the Madboard.
