Hello! I'd like your opinion. I want to build XYZ-stage with stepper motors controlled from the PC or manually with analog joystick. So it will probably need to work in singlestep mode and ramp too. Simultaneous movement of all 3 axes would be ideal. What would you recommend? To use 3 pieces of "step/dir" drivers or to use something like L6470? In the first case, would it be possible to use independent interrupt timers to stepping it?

Thank you very much for your feedback. Tomas
