My new OpenRail CNC machine will use 2 steppers to drive the X Axis. I have an Easy CNC driver board where one of the driver circuits went bad and replaced the card with a new one. My question is, can I use one of the drivers on my extra board as the driver for the second X stepper? And, if so, how would it be connected? Thanks.
Well, it looks like the Easy CNC manual addresses this. And, along with some changes in Mach3, an additional driver can be configured. Per, the Easy CNC manual page 11 ( http://www.easy-cnc.com/web/download/Manual3Axis(NEW).pdf ), it shows what to do.
Nice find LaVerne Im sorry I did not see this post early on, I would have helped to find an answer Thanks for the update and we look forward to your cnc build! Mark and Trish
