BTT Octopus v1.1 and SPI passthrough #48

Closed josh1e closed 1 year ago

josh1e commented 3 years ago

Hi,

1/. Is it possible (and supported) to use SPI from an external device (like Arduino or raspberry PI) to control the Octopus v1.1 and if yes, do you have tutorial and configuration example?

  1. is it possible to use SPI for stepper motor controllers to allow use of TMC5000 series and if yes, do you have tutorial and configuration example?

Because of the flexibility of the board and number of stepper / sensors, this is a good board for multi device use (3d printer / engraver / CNC) and the use of SPI to the motors would increase it's useability (and potentially it's sales)

thanks
