I am building the electrical system for a Joe’s Evo 4 x 4 router. I plan on using the rack and pinion option with 400 oz-in steppers.
I don’t know how many driver stations are available on the break out board and would like to have one extra circuit available for future use as a rotary option for turning small parts.
Can I send the same instructions to the two drivers for the left and right gantry steppers from one circuit on the break out board?
Or does each driver need dedicated wiring to separate circuits on the BO Board?
If each driver needs a dedicated slot, and I intend to drive a fifth stepper for light turning operations, then that suggests I need a BO Board with at least 5 separate circuits, right? I haven't ordered anything yet.
I intend to use an old computer tower to house all the components: the dedicated power supply, the break out board and drivers and several large fans.
Thanks
