The only real difference between the C1G and the 7I78 outputs is that the 7I78 has 27 Ohm series resistors in its 74ACT buffer output pins (and that the 7I78 has differential outputs) It should drive any step/dir input just fine If you use the outputs single ended you will get twice as much drive (but ~1/3 the noise immunity) > > Since I am using the 2M542 stepper drivers and real data on > Leadshine's site says the M542 V2 is opto-isolated and TTL compatible, so > I have to assume the 7i78 can drive it just fine. > > Does anyone have experience otherwise? > > Thanks. > > Cheers, Gene Heskett > -- > "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: > soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
