      Hello all,

      is it possible to connect a duex5 expansion board to an duet maestro board? If not - how can i connect 4 z-stepper motors on a duet maestro board?

      Thank you for help.

      René

        I believe you can only connect another 2 motors to the maestro.

        So I think the short answer is no, you can't connect the duex5 to it and no, you can't connect a further 4 motors to the maestro.

        Owns various duet boards and is the main wiki maintainer for the Teamgloomy LPC/STM32 port of RRF. Assume I'm running whatever the latest beta/stable build is

            Yeah the Meastro does not have enough pins to control more than the adittional 2 steppers you get with the expansion (another bottleneck might be the MCU in general).

            Not sure why the expansion isn't in the link above, or not linked to from the Duet 2 Maestro product page, but there is a guide on the wiki at least. https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Dual_Stepper_Driver_Expansion_Module

              @bearer The Dual Stepper Expansion is listed (pictured) near the top of the page under Related Pages.
