All StepperHi, I would like to use one of Mesa's FPGA cards to drive 8 stepper axes. I would ideally use 4 of their 7I32 stepper driver cards to drive all 8 steppers. This is for a 6 axis hexapod with a rotary axis on top and another stepper for extrusion.
If you are using EMC, the 7I32 is not currently supported (it could be by extending the stepgenerator to output the sin/cos PWMs that the 7I32 uses)
Probably a better option would be to use either the 5I20 or 7I43 and some low end step+dir drives
