Raspberry with LinuxCNC direct interface was created by johnB
I wonder, is there a Raspberry HAT that can direct interface with a stepper driver ?
Thanks
Jonh.

Yep and they can be found via using google, probably too many to list. I wouldn't expect a "plug & play" solution going this route.
Before you go this route beware that the software stepping isn't optimal and it may be worth spending some extra dollars on an Mesa card or other such external step\direction control card.

NOT can found, no have, only can use paraller port hat and paraller port breakoutboard, if want rpi use stepper drive direct need voltage level shifter board, 3,3V to 5V 8 pin converter, rpi use 3,3V and convert output can use 5V stuff, etc, stepper motor driver, step and dir pin, and enable pin. and same can bi -directional board use input too 5V sensors,limitSW etc convert to 3,3V and use whit rpi. same output relays etc, cn use gpio pin 3,3V convert to 5V and then use trnsistor who connect to relay on/off relay. gpio not handle lot current about 2mA out and in little more, or burn input/output port. thats why need converter and optocoupler to input current resistor need too, stuff not broken rpi. and shift level converter and resistor output no burn output pin, if have lot money waste buy ower price protoneer rpi cnc shield 100€ horriple price, or cheapen option rpi paraller port hat 35€ and cheap chinese 10€ breakoutboard. i think have possiple use shift level converter to input/output gpio pins and optocoupler cheap in-out system direct to driver and all limit,home,probe,etc inputs, opto input pins and shift level converter output pins, i hope working , i need test if has order all parts, but i not understand what software need do, image were is linuxcnc and how working whit paraller port hat if use, or what need hal file doing or other, programs and code not my job ,not understand anything.

you can use this bob directly on the RPI GPIO's:
www.amazon.de/DollaTek-5-Achsen-CNC-Brea...reiber/dp/B07PNDXZQK
only need to build an adapter cable, there are no 5v comming out of the bob on the db25 side, no risk to damage the gpio's.

Hello friend, I will try to help as much as I can.
First I would like to ask what language is best for you ? I am asking this as I can only speak English. It is my hope that there maybe someone that speaks your native language and maybe able to help.
For the image the most recent can be found here:
forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...mages?start=0#338181
Byte2Bob help can be found here:
forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...aughter-board#339613
I hope this is a start. I will do as much as I can to help.
All the best
Rob

Some advice regarding chatgpt and AI in general for help. Currently it is not a good idea asking about Linuxcnc, many many times it gives answers that make no sense and will not work.
