Is there anyway to turn GPIO or an I2C/SPI board to run a Pulse/Direction Axis? I want to use it to control steppers with a stepper driver using Softmotion Library. If so I would like to test with 3D Delta printer.

Any answer?

This is very interesting to me too, anybody knows the answer?

Hi,
i agree these puls/direction steppers would be useful for many applications but
it is no easy possible to use them by the GPIO's. ( there is no Driver available for SoftMotion and guess you need for sure additional harware / Extension board / whatever)

At the moment only the EL2521 by using Ethercat solution is running out of the box including SoftMotion driver
