General Mach Discussion / Alternative to Step-Dir.

« on: June 04, 2017, 06:32:53 PM »

Does Mach3 or 4 for that matter have any other motion control alternative to step-dir? I have used both Steppers and Servos but the both types of drives just use step-dir.  So, any other way like SPI or something like that?

please excuse my ignorance but it never hurts to ask.  I am implementing a new driver that is still in development and their Step-Dir communication as not yet been implemented.

Thanks
