External driver(s) "how to".
-
So i'm currently upgrading my printer from 1 color to 3 colors.
And for that i ofcourse needed one more stepper driver for my third extruder, that being said i thought the space an Duex2/5 would take up just for one extra driver was a little excessive. So i'm opting for the "Driver breakout board" approach to it.After reading up on the duet wiki and a couple other sites i came to see that the above mentioned approach didn't have a straight forward guide to follow. So i threw this little "How to" together to maybe help others wanting to do the same thing.
Hope this can come in handy for someone, and for gods sake if any of the graybeard's here see something wrong please let me know so that i can correct it!

Great work. You should consider submitting that to the wiki.

@Exerqtor I took the liberty of adapting your guide into a wiki entry. I hope that's ok.
