Overview
GenX32 is a 6-axis bipolar 2A per phase stepper motor controller/driver combination.  GenX32 accepts six limit switch inputs and has four auxiliary open collector outputs.  The bipolar stepper motor driver based on the popular A4988 driver.  Each of the six A4988's can be individually configured by software for step. Torque is set with a pot.  GenX32 is powered by an external DC wall adapter.  Main board has 4 drivers - 2 additional drivers are on a daughtercard.

GenX32 has onboard Power Mosfets capable of driving 3D printer heat beds and extruders.

GenX32 runs GStep (6-axis G Code controller), GStepH (linear or rotary hexapod controller), GRBL (3-axis open source) or tinyg (6-axis G Code controller with jerk compensation).
