Hi Zarzul
Ok that makes two of us .
I only needed two enable outputs as i am working on mach turn.
I am still looking to find a way to disable drive when there is no step signal.
This feature allows the drives and motors to operate much cooler.
The reduction gearing is usually enough so that the tool remains in position.
At least that is what i have experienced on my very home made mill
As I said previously there is something in the back of my mind about the enables and I just cant remember, it may be that I tried toi use them a while back and I found that they didnt work. I however just use one enable for all my drives on the lathe as I have no need to individually disable the drives, they are either all enabled or all disabled.
As for switching the drives off when they are not being commanded I think that is the teritory of the drive rather than the software. Gecko drives do this and a few others do it as well, when the drive is not getting a signal from the Step/Dir the current is reduced. Have a look at your drives as they may have that feature.
