XY Plotter 2.0 with three stepper motors?

#1

Hi there, I just finished assembly of my XY plotter 2.0 and it’s working great. Now I want to add a syringe extruder which is opearted by an additional stepper motor. How can I connect this to the Orion board? I guess I need an additional shield, but can the Orion handle three stepper motors simultaneously? Thanks for any help! Appreciated! Marc

Hi,

I’m also interested in using three stepper motors.

Is it possible to use another port on the MeOrion, if the power cable is connected seperately with the V-M next to the DC motor inputs like in the image below?
