I need a circuit to build a joystick controlled bidirectional stepper clock generator for my lab. The output should be a pin (+zero pin) with the clock output and a pin with the direction signal, plus an enable pin.
This to drive a smart stepper with clock and direction input. If possible there should be a deadband setting across zero to stop creep. You used to be able to buy this sort of card, but most functionality is now built into the drives, and I need to provide a common clock for a set of motors.
Help appreciated. I could build the gear if I could find the relevant circuit.
