@dc42 Thank you. I have the servo motor connected but its not moving from the step Dr commands. Im working with the motor vendor is there a way in the config to change the pulse output from the commands. Trying to match them to the motor. Shawn

@T3P3Tony Awesome thanks very helpful Here is the current motor config settings.
What does the "S0" mean. If I need to remap them is it just editing the text on the right "Physical drive 0 . X1" as an example to match the axis. thanks Shawn

New to Duet Reprap stuff so please forgive my ignorance. I bought a Modix big meter and to sum it up simply it sucks as a machine and support is terrible.

Duet 2 Wifi Board
Im adding 7 servo motors that have built in drivers and supports step dir commands. my plan is to take the 5 step dir commands coming out the expansion port and send that logic to the controllers on the motors. I need 2 other channels the 10 and 11 for the other axis. how do I enable the output on the expansion port and which pins on the connector are the correct ones for step and dir. Looks like bottom left should be pin 1 but if anyone knows for sure the pinouts it would be helpful.

Also any other help with those who have done this as far as setting the config up to work better with servo motors.

Im currently wiring up everything now and hope to start testing later this week once all the connectors are done. Thanks a bunch, Shawn

Total noob here for Duet Boards. I have a Modix Big Meter which is basically a piece of crap. Im trying to get it more reliable and I would like to add closed loop stepper motors for the 4 z and 2 y and 1 x or vs versa on the x and y. I have the duet2 wifi and duet 5 expansion boards i just need to know what hardware to get and how to wire it up then change the config. any help on this would be much appreciated. I know electronics well just not familiar with duet boards and adding the closed loop motors. found these are they a good option. thank you
