      Hi,

      I have several YASKAWA servo motors & drivers I would like to use to drive a large pellet extruder (too big for most steppers) - I wonder if it's possible to do that with a DUET controller?
      For the XYZ axis I will probably prefer using steppers, but have enough servos to use for that as well if it's easier to have an "all servo" system rather than a stepper-servo mix.

      Thanks

        Do your servos accept a step/dir signal?
