[Emc-users] Running PathPilot on non-Tormach Machines

2023-01-22 Thread Ron Ginger
I would like to try to run PathPilot on my own mill. I now run Mach4, but I would like to see how well PathPilot works. I see I can simply download a copy from the Tormach site. what interface board do I need? What is Tormachs position on this? I know they have to release the code because

Yep, I'm planning to use the Mesa resolver boards, simply because I already have a fair bit of Mesa kit. I expect resolution to be 14 bits and accuracy to be 12 bits. On Sun, 22 Jan 2023 at 16:52, Jon Elson wrote: > On 1/21/23 19:34, Robin Szemeti via Emc-users wrote: > > One thing that might

Hi Chris, An interesting device, but you are making a fundamental mistake in confusing resolution with accuracy. If you read the datasheet, they make no claims whatsoever about accuracy, if it was good, I am sure they would mention it. That said, I would reasonably expect them to achieve +- 5
