I2C, SPI, stepper motor support?

Post by pehaa »

Does RevPi have support for SPI and/or I2C buses which are natively present in Raspberry PI?
And is there any easy way to control a stepper motor?

The RevPi has no pin header with CPU signals like the Raspi. Instead there are various I/O modules available. There is no SPI or I2C connection available.
Controlling a stepper motor with our DIO or DO modules would be difficult as the max. bus cycle frequency (and therefore half of this value also as signal frequency
of software controlled square waves) is about 500 Hz and the output voltage is 24 V. We suggest to use intelligent drives controlled by CAN or other field busses.
