No,

The UC400ETH has 2x STANDARD (pins 2-9 as outputs only) 26 pin IDC connectors.

if your want lots of IO's get s uc300eth, its not much more in cost.

I would say No.

You can only use 1 port on the C25 as the 2nd port has pins 2-9 set as INPUTS, this is not possible with the uc400eth.

The smooth stepper allows you via firmware to change the use of pins 2-9 to either be outputs or inputs. This is not possible.

Your could get 2x el-cheapo Chinese BOB's
