Hi all,

I’m designing the upgrade of my 1mx1m Shapeoko2 and considering NEMA 23s. Does the Grbl Arduino easily interface with DM542A drivers like these?:

I use them in my Gatton CNC driving 420oz motors

Yes, the Arduino only output step and direction (enable also) which is all there drivers need :slight_smile:
