driving other boards

[Olivier Hignette]

Hello 
I am driving 3 steppers through TinyG but I also need  to drive a board  with piezo motors from the DUE
This  board accepts CMOS  5 V when the DUE  delivers 3.3 V . Anybody could help ? 
regards 

Olivier

Have you tried voltage levelers?

thanks a lot . This thing ships from china . Is there a hope to get some kind of documentation readable by a physicist, not an electronics guru ? 

cheers

Olivier, I got one at a local electronics store where they sell the Arduino, Raspberry Pi and other micro controller stuff. I just hooked it up after reading your post; it was on my to do list, I have a Leadshine driver and a servo that only take 5v step, dir, enable.

I got a little adjustable board that takes the 12v from the TinyG fan and gives me a 5v output for the HV side reference of the leveler. You need some 5v source. I used the 3V, ground, step and dir on motor 1 of the TinyG for the LV side. The leveler is clearly labeled for power and data lines; hv gnd and lv gnd power are the middle pins and data are outside pins.

h1,h2 (gnd, hv) h3,h4 and l1,l2 (gnd,lv) l3,l4

  so it can take four 3v data lv inputs and output four 5v hv signals. It looks good so far, outputs 5v for the dir and the step pulses drive an LED (dimly) but I have not hooked it up to a scope or the leadshine. I am new to this also and not an electrical engineer, I'm a classical guitarist. :-)

Olivier, oh forgive my arrogance.  Seriously, I should have considered documentation and shipping times.

Same thing really, made and shipped in the USA with proper support.

Olivier, did you get it to work? Mine works great to run a 5v Leadshine DM860 driving a NEMA 34 from the TinyG 3v signals, and it worked for the G201x Gecko at 5v but the Gecko also does 3v.
