How to configure 3 Z motor on duet2 wifi

R006

hello,

I want to configure 3 Z axis motor in duet2 wifi using 50pins expansion connecter (1 using Driver 2 and another using 50pins expansion connecter) is that possible?

Please give me suggestion.

@R006 I take it you don't want to use a Duex?

R006

@fcwilt Yes.
i want to use 50pins expansion connecter but not used expansion board so it's possible.

Phaedrux

Yes it's possible, see the link above on using external drivers.

I know it is possible. I have a few of those connectors myself but the project never happened.

Good luck.

See https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Motors_connecting_external
See the Duet 2 Wifi/Ethernet tab under 'Connection options' section in the above link.

If the drivers require no more than about 2mA @ 3V on the step, dir and enable inputs, then you can drive them directly from the Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet Expansion header or CONN_LCD header. The Expansion header has support for 5 external drivers. The CONN_LCD header supports two external drivers.

You can't drive a stepper motor directly from the pins. You will need some kind of stepper driver, and probably a breakout board. See the Examples section lower down, too. It's all on that page.
