[Emc-users] Parport driver max expected frequency

Hello to all. I need to control a screw with an encoder mounted on it. Calculating the max rpm and the resolution I want I need a 25 khz read response for the encoder. I remember reading somewhere the maximum expected frequency of the parport software driver to read an input but I don't remember

Hello Jon and thanks for the quick answer. I was affraid that it would be on the limit. I guess I'm going to use a 5i20 to read it. I have one machine using it so I can test it with the TTL encoder and see how it works. Do you know if the 6i25 is already supported by LinuxCNC? I know that

You can have two 7i76 cards on one 5i25, just don't forget to ask for the header adapter for the second one. And also make sure you use the proper parallel port cable (easy is to just get them from Mesa). This combo makes a very neat install with only one (or two) cable from computer to drive
