I have a cnc machine and after looking at the board i have found 10 un used pins. I have a 7 color kit and 3 normal drivers.
So now for the questions.
Making a stepper beam show.
How would i go about using them for computer control?
Can 2 programs use the same db25 port as longs as they don't use the same pins?
I am thinking i need something like a TTL driver but i have no idea maybe analog?
I do have a programmable ic it is the basic stamp 2. (i would like to stay away from this as i have no idea how it works.)
I would like at least 7 colors but it would be nice if i could get the fading thing.
I have seen the kits for them and at a price of 60+ i just cant clear it. i know i can build anything i just need to know what to build.
(i can afford this after Christmas but i want all my laser shows done before then.)
So even if its sloppy it would be nice to have something that works.
I am very newbie when it comes to electronics so please if there are diagrams can you link me to a place where i can find a key Or pictures of what they actually are. I know this can be asking alot i am trying to learn.
