hi, i think i would go with the mesa setup http://www.retrofit-plus.at/store/7i76-plug-n-go#tab-box-product-info
To the 7i76 card i can connect the power supply, or ? I got a 30V/2A lab-power-supply, which i can use. Can i use just one power-supply for all 3 motors ? Can i run stepper or servos with the mesa 7i76 ? i mean, am i limited to stepper or servo motors with the mesa cards? You think servos are better than stepper motors ? What would be a good torque for small aluminium parts ? Are there other things to look for ? what do you mean with "ie both Pico and Mesa products move step signal generation and counters into hardware" ? do i need motors with some inner signal generation ? thanks alot for the help flo On Mon, 9 Apr 2012 15:08:51 -0700 Andy Pugh <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On 9 Apr 2012, at 13:00, "Florian König" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > The mesa card is used for pwm generation ?
