Pin for enabling / disabling stepper motor drives

Ricardo

How to send a command to the driver to activate before starting work and to inactivate after work?

You can use the pins, PIN 24 "XHOME", PIN 7 "YHOME" for other functions, as in the case of activating the stepper motor driver, that is, using the command "Enable / Power all stepper motors" and "M18: Disable all stepper motors "?

Thank you

Dear Ricardo, I think what you need is Enable signal from the controller. Now for standard controller, this signal is not avaliable.

Dear Ricardo, I think what you need is Enable signal from the controller. Now for standard controller, this signal is not avaliable. and then you want to change the Home signal to Enable signal for each axis?

Ricardo

Hi!
Yes, exactly that, because the home signal can be used in the limit limit signal, so the home signal could be used to activate the drivers.

How to activate this option?
