Hello, 
 

    I have just purchased a old CNC mill that has stepper motors on all three axis what I want is to use an SX to output step pulses to the stepper drives I have. I also want to keep up with the pulses and convert it to an inch value and display that data on a LCD screen. I want to use the controller to change direction and speed with a switch and a POT also I am to be able to enter a value on a 12 digit keypad and have the SX pulse out the proper amount of pulses to reach that value. 

 

The questions I have is can I pulse out of more than one pin at the same time? The pulses do not have to refresh and certin rate because to stepper drive just moves the motor according to how many pulses they recieve, They dont have to be refreshed like a servo.  

 

One more question can I use the SX/B to program these functions?

Sorry to ask such basic questions but I want to start working with the SX chips and advance from the Stamps.
