PMDX is now offering a new motherboard for Gecko
G201X and G203V stepper drivers that offers a
practical way to support 2, 3, 5, or 6 drivers.
Now builders of gantry routers with tandem axes
who also want 1 or 2 rotary axes can have the
same easy integration as users of our PMDX-132
and PMDX-134.
It provides simplified wiring by plugging directly
on top of the Gecko drivers and accepting step and
direction signals via a ribbon cable from our
PMDX-126 breakout board or directly from a parallel
port.
The board directly supports 3 axes, and provides
an output connector with signals for a 4th, 5th,
and 6th axis to run a second board from the
high order data bits and the control signals on
pin 1, 14, 16, and 17 of the parallel port.
When used with a PMDX-126 the 5th and 6th axis
signals come from the second parallel port interface,
thus allowing the control signals on the first
port to continue to serve as Charge Pump, spindle
control etc. in their standard positions.
The PMDX-133 is available now at $49.00 each. See:

PMDX will be exhibiting at the Cabin Fever show
on January 15th and 16th in York, PA. Drop by and
see us there.
