I need to get some clarification from @chrismakesstuff
The product page for the SLB-EXT says it only works with closed loop steppers.
However the SLB-EXT section of the Altmill resources says it can be used with closed or open loop steppers.
Can this be clarified and/or corrected as necessary?
Hey @DavidR8, this seems to be a discrepancy in the wording so I let the team know about it. Fundamentally a closed-loop motor is essentially an open-loop motor but with a motor driver strapped to the back - this means that any board designed to run a closed-loop motor can theoretically run open-loop motors as well as long as you’re wiring in external stepper motor drivers that are compatible.
Hope that makes sense to you, and thanks for bringing it up
