Hello community,

I ran into the following issue when trying to add two stepper drivers to my MEGA board:

Both steppers use Easy Driver board, each needs two signals - Step and Direction, i.e. two MEGA pins. They are connected to pins 40, 41 (Stepper1) and 48, 49 (Stepper2).

All other pins are already assigned to various buttons, switches, and LEDs.

So I added the first stepper using pins 40 and 41:

Then I try to add the second, and I get the error "No enough free pins"

I then saved the config and had a look in the *.mfmc file, to my surprise I saw that the remaining two pins are assigned to the first stepper as pin3 and pin4

Is there a solution for this case? After all Easy Driver needs only two pins to operate, correct?

I found some discussions for older versions of MF but the interface looks a lot different than it does in v10, and no definitive solution.
