| cnc to pwm servo bob |
| (1/1) |
| BillTodd:
Inspired by joules' cnc thead, i thought I'd ask here about this… Anyone know or have experience with a breakout board sthat will drive pwm servo amps (i.e. takes input from mach or linuxcnc, outputs pwm control to servo amp and reads quadrature from encoders) I have set of servo motors and amps (glentec) but no means to control them . The only thing i can find that might be suitable is. pico board fron the usa , but it is an expensive thing to experiment with. Thoughts? |

We use one of the Mesa boards http://www.mesanet.com/ with linuxcnc and our own amps on this: A recent experience where I tried to build a servo system around some parts that I already had (in this case a couple of motors) taught me that it's cheaper just to buy a complete AC brushless kit . YMMV PK |
