Hello,

With the BiStep unit (BS0170) USB, there is an digital output to drive an other electronic
for example an electromagnet?

Because I want to use this board for a TABLE X-Y and I would like drive an electromagnet to use as contact with Z-movement.

Marcos.

    Marcos,

    Are you using a BASIC Stamp or other microcontroller to drive the Bi-Step or are you using the PC? Typically you get your extra digital outputs from the Microcontroller. If you’re using the PC you may have to do something else.
