[Machinekit] Re: using machinekit with bbb and polulu driver to drive stepper motor without any cape
Hi guys Thanks for the input. So far it works well for me. I'll report back if i run into any problems.

Thank you jeff I did manage to use the signals from a cramp config to run a stepper motor. Much better signal than the one generated by python code. I use p812 and p813 the x axis, set the scale to 400, (my motor is 0.9 degree). Ad run mdf command g01 x2000 f200 this way the feedrate speed is my rpm. thanks Best Jason On Thursday, September 1, 2016 at 9:30:18 PM UTC-4, joe2456001 wrote: > > HI guys >I was trying to use bbb and run machinekit to send signals to a polulu > driver, to drive a stepper motor.

Hi, You don't need an eeprom (you don't need a cape) to be able to use the signals from P8 and P9. If your config is running a program that needs a eeprom, then I'd suggest trying another config that doesn't require an eeprom be programmed and present.
