Hi all:
I'm building a Z80 based computer as a stepper motor controller, and it
would be nice if there was a homebrew newsgroup to ask questions on since
I don't think this is the group to do so - any recommendations?
Yes, I know I'm 30 years behind the curve, and yes, I know a
microcontroller would save me some time, but where's the fun in that?
Regards,
Gord
Well the Z80 is still current. Still being made and used.
However, to use it for stepper control is a lot of CPU for trivial task.
With that aside, thre are plenty here that know the Z80 well.
