Parallel Port breakout boards, motherboards, and dedicated accessories / stepper motors nema 17 with encoder
« on: May 24, 2016, 10:50:55 AM »
Hi, I would like to contro 4 stepper motor nema 17 with encoder through a PMDX-126 Breakout Board. I would like to use encoders only to save position data in a file. Not for feedback.
In the comparison table (http://www.pmdx.com/BreakoutFeatures) I see that PMDX-122 Breakout Board allow to connect encoder as an input and receive 8 Data bit inputs, while PMDX-126 need a PMDX-108-Input. Anyway in the PMDX-108-Input manual it is not clearly specified if it is possible to connect encoders.
PMDX-126 Breakout Board can be interfaced with a lot of accessories, so I prefere this one to PMDX-122.
Someone known if it is possible to connect somehow (by PMDX-108-Input or others) the encoders to PMDX-126 Breakout Board?
Thank you.
