Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hello,

with the new firmware V6.02.00, stepper motors can also be controlled (up to 3).
There is also a separate PDF for the software. But how do I connect them electrically and what are the preferred pins?
I would like to connect two steppers. Which drivers do I need and how are they connected?

I would be grateful for any help.

It supports stepper drivers which are based on step/dir input:
STEPPER AXIS axis, step_pin, dir_pin [, enable_pin] [, dir_invert] [, steps_per_mm] [,
max_vel] [, max_accel]


All of these should work with MMBasic together with e.g. these motors
