Do you think I could use an Arduino diecimila with some shift registers (74HC165N) to increase the outputs. Maybe a diy board for the extruder? I have a bunch of spare parts laying around like voltage regulators, mosfets, transistors, and the capability to etch boards. I'm just curious because that's what I have on hand. What would be a good firmware for this type of application. Teacup?
If not what exactly am I going to need to order?
Also sorry if these are kinda noob questions I'v never done anything with steppers or anything with add on boards.
