Duet2 + SBC + Additional drivers

[MartinNYHC]

I need 3 additional drivers for a Duet2 which is running in SBC mode. I just recognized that the Duet Expansion Breakout Board is also connected via the expansion header. Are there any other options to connect a SBC and expansion board together to a Duet2?

Thanks, Martin

@martinnyhc how have you connected the SBC? typically it is through the ethernet breakout boards pins and not the expansions header

This one is a Duet2 Ethernet which was lying around in the shelf for two years now

@martinnyhc in which case, the SBC connects to the ethernet headers so the expansion header is free, so theres nothing stopping you connecting a duex5 or a breakout board to the duet 2

I also have a spare Duet3 Mini 5+. What option do I have with this board when using SBC and additional drivers?

[jay_s_uk]

@martinnyhc you can add an additional 2 drivers directly to the board. after that its using CAN-FD boards such as the toolboard and 3HC

[MartinNYHC]

@jay_s_uk OK, but the Mini 2+ will be connected to expansion headers where the SBC is already connected to?!

[jay_s_uk]

@martinnyhc no, it has its own header

[MartinNYHC]

@jay_s_uk NOW i got it I think that's the way for me.
