Title: Axon to stepper motor controller
Post by: amscrplaya on December 23, 2008, 06:59:42 PM

My stepper motor controller (http://www.probotix.com/manuals/SideStep_manual.htm) has a 4 pin input for a microcontroller (Enable, step, direction, ground) but the axon microcontroller only has 3 pin outputs. What do I need to do to use the axon with this 4 pin motor controller? Do I need to use two outputs from the axon?

You will need to use three digital output pins, and ground.

For example, the far left pins on A4, A5, and A6, plus ground from any of the far right pins.

Use this code:
