Are the other axis (X and Y) step and direction signals available?

Hi

As the controller is basically a Ramps system, there are the other axis than Z too - at least in theory. Is there a way to get the step and direction signals for them out of the Nano DLP controller board, to connect more motors that could be controlled by writing dedicated commands for them among the Z axis commands in the gcode that the system is running on??

Thanks

Feel free to use any marlin compatible board with NanoDLP. I do not think it is worth changing nanodlp controller board as lots of wiring will be required.

I don´t want o get rid of NanoDLP board, as I have been fighting years to get it running somehow (it still freezes in the middle of every print, probably because of wifi disconnects and for some reason it ruins the print). I just want to know if there are some pins on NanoDLP board or Rpi that I can wire to another stepper driver.

No, such wiring is not exists.
