Specifications

The function of the UC100 is similar to that of the SmoothStepper USB. It utilizes an FTDI Chip that handles the USB to parallel communication. The data is then sent to a microcontroller which interprets and processes the signals and sends them through a Schmitt trigger to buffer and clean the signal before output.
