SecKit Cube to Duet3d Hardware

[budhi]

Hello,
I have a SecKit Cube (200³mm CoreXY) that I would like to switch to Duet3d controller.
I use closed loop stepper from MKS for XY and have 3 geared stepper (normal TMC controlled) for Z and currently an LGX Lite extruder.

I use a GTR V1 with RRF already but am unsure what board to buy to switch to duet hardware due to the 2 closed loop stepper.
Also in case this influences the possibilities I need at least 5 Fan controls and would love to keep using the Nanopixel Strip (6LED) installed.

@budhi what signal voltage do the MKS drivers need for their step and direction inputs? If 3.3V is sufficient, you could use a Duet 3 Mini and connect the MKS drivers to the stepper driver expansion connector.

@dc42
I think so
their manual shows 3.3 - 28V for the signal pins

@dc42
wait I just understood, thanks a lot, so I can use that one board to connect everything.
Thanks a lot I will buy it and start trying to connect everything correctly, is this forum the proper way if I get stuck somewhere?

@budhi yes if you get stuck then this forum is the right place to ask for help.
