Hi there thanks to all for the help with the cnc encoder it works well
New one for you clever software writers
I need a software solution for driving a stepper motor.
Brief
I want to use a Picaxe14M
1 Input pin for step pulse from printer port
1 Input for direction from printer port
4 outputs driving Mosfets (to Stepper motor)
When I detect a high pulse on the step input pin it will drive the stepper one step
When then dir input pin is high the next time it detects a high on the step pin it will drive the stepper one step in the opposite direction.
Hope this makes sense it is for driving a milling table on my cnc mill that I am building.

P.S. I am a mechanical engineer not a computer wizard
