Looking around the net trying to figure out some stuff that i could possibly do to upgrade my 3d printer and was wondering...
What stops us from expanding the number of stepper motors we can use by using an I2C compatable stepper motor controller and/or expansion board?
All i've seen with I2C and ramps is that people are just using it to control an LCD display...
Heck, I2C seems to be able to control more than one device at a time so you can attach a stepper motor controller, a fan controller, AND an LCD display at the same time.
Any thoughts to this?
