    Question 2nd Break-out board

    Hi,

    I have a smooth-stepper USB board connected the the Campbell break-out board running 4 Gecko 202's (double X).

    I wanted to add a rotary axis but the Campbell board only gives me 4 out.

    Do I need to get an extra Campbell BOB? I don't need all these other signal break-out's, I got those on the first board. I just need to connect the 2nd parallel out on the smooth-stepper to break it out to my 5th axis to run the 5th Gecko.

    What would you do?

    thanks,

    Stefan

    I was thinking on getting one of:

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/26190026294...m=261900262944

    It's got optocouplers in it and 1 of the axis should work

    Get a cable with it,..
