    Thanks for your feedback – I’ll go with the PWM controller!

    hi,

    I am rebuilding my 4-axis(X,YY,Z,A) tinyG cnc machine to a 5-axis setup. The 5th axis will do a ‘cleaning sequence’ so latencies are not an issue. In addition i am also implementing a raspi3 to send the g-code if possible via chillipepper.

    I am thinking to have a stepper shield on the raspi3 to take care of the 5th axis, and somehow have the gcode send instructions to both ‘systems’.

    Curious to hear your thoughts. thnx

    Thanks, I already have XXYZA on the M1-M4 drives, so the DUE control could be the way to go for the extra stepper.

    Is there any way to use the spindle pins(PWM, sdir, spin) to communicate to a stepper driver -like ‘big easy drive’- and add a 5-axis?

    I have a similar question. I have a setup where i’m currently using all 4axis XYZA(x doubled up) and it works great, but I would like to add one more small stepper like this one: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10551

    It will do sort of an in-between job like cleaning the head, so it does not have to synchronize with the other axis.

    What would be the easiest was to implement this with tinyg?

    thanks, Peter
