Expansion Breakout Board to Duet Wifi
-
Already have a Duex connected to the large connector of Duet Wifi.
Is it possible/OK to wire intelligently an Expansion Breakout Board (to get differential driver outputs) to the smaller connector on the Duex Wifi (Steppers 10 and 11, next to the Panel Due connector)??

hey guys, I'm still stuck on this. It's not clear from the Documentation (https://docs.duet3d.com/Duet3D_hardware/Duet_2_family/Duet_Expansion_Breakout_Board_ ) what the expansion breakout board uses by way of Input. It's not clear what the chips are on the board.
DO they just use pins like +5v, +3v, STEP, DIR... that I can take from the small connectof (steppers 10/11 etc) above? Or do they require the full-on MISO/MOSI stuff?
I feel the need, the need for speed!

@r123 have a look at the schematic here https://github.com/Duet3D/Duet-2-Hardware/blob/master/Duet_Expansion/Expansion_Breakoutv1.1/ExpBreakoutv1.1_Schematic.pdf
theres no SPI etc is just enable, step (pulse) and direction -
@jay_s_uk Awesome. So it' just 5v/GND and the STEP/DIR inputs. Worst case scenario I can hook up with a handful of female-female breadboard connectors from the Stepper10/11 connector on the Duet Wifi.
Thanks a LOT!
