ok.. This is my take... This is why I like linuxcnc>-a/d>- analog drive>-servo>-encoder>-linuxcnc... The enables are controlled by motion. The power is controlled by estop. The PID within linuxcnc has a lot of power - saturation, following error and so on. It can detect most all faults a

I will pass this along to the FreeCAD path chat on gitter. I’m sure some people wouldn’t mind the info in here. There is a good chunk of work being done on the Path workbench but the feature freeze will slow things down as they try to stabilize it for the 0.19 release. -Thorhian > On Feb 11,

I've attached the app node pdf from Practical Micro Design for their PMDX-126. My system is set up as in Figure 1 and at the time it seemed like a really good idea. The trouble is a fault from any of the drives into the PMDX-125 or 126 effectively removes the ChargePump which results in all
