Summary
The Megatronics boards allows you to connect extra stepper drivers to an axis. This board can take advantage of that feature and allows you to run 2 stepper motors on one axis using two stepper drivers. Or 3. Or 4. Or how much you like, they can be connected in series.
Major features
- You can connect (theoretically) unlimited amount of stepper motors to one axis.
- Compatible with Megatronics 1.0 and Megatronics 2.0
- Compatible with Pololu 498X, Pololu DRV8825 and Stepstick
