    Question Output Board and Adapter for limit switch on MK3: remaining signals?

    Hi everyone,
    I've a question: I've a MK3 board and I've bought a Output board for my spindle, and there are on it, more the PWM signal, three relè output.
    How I can use the other output of the board? (I lost 4 outputs, in this way)
    The same for the Adapter for limit switch: there are on the board 4 input, and the other 4?
    (There are in total 8 inputs and 8 inputs on MK3 board, and only 4outputs and 4 inputs on the additional board...)

    Thank's in advance
    Nino

    You can make a simple splitter. Something like this:

    Ok, thank's.
    The same is for Adapter limit switch board?
    I have to buy another output board o I can use directly the output of the main board?
    Also, I must another Adapter limit board or I can use directy the other input from the main board?

    You can use inputs/outputs directly from main board. Just make sure you don't draw more than 20mA from outputs. And optoisolation is highly recommended for inputs.
