Hi Scary,
i am affraid your Controller does not Support THC, did a quick Google check, but maybe i am wrong.

receiving the input's ,and Show the on LED's, is only the easy part of THC.

THC (up/down) reactions have to be very fast, so they Need to be controlled by the part (Software) witch creates
the pulse/dir signal's. In your case by the Motion Controller.

any other part (VB or brain) would be to slow and not able to act the actual pulse stream.

hope i was able in my bad bavarian english to explain.
