I recently purchased an SMPro to use for my imaging system control. Part of my decision to buy was the stepper output being built in to the controller. I have a FT EMS system already and was hoping I could drive the motors directly with the SMPro and not have to use the FT hub. SO far, it doesn't look like the SMP will drive the FT motors directly. I called FT to ask about their pinout and they were unable to give me the info. Has anyone been able to successfully run the FT motors directly from the SMP?
Thanks in advance,
Luke

Luke,

I don't think what you are trying to do is possible, it would require too many amps to operate the motor, that is why you have a controller inbetween. I use an Arduino Uno with a motor controller hat.
