hi, i use gecko drives with 10 "micro steps" and i don't know if i ever lost a step or not. i would like to add encoders to the back of my double shafted stepper motors. i would like emc to stop all motors and report any lost steps. i definitely don't want emc to try to make up for the detected mistake. just want it to stop.
these are my questions: is this practical? does emc support this? what should i look for when purchasing encoders for this application? how many positions/pulses per revolution will work best? i know this has been discussed many times, but i am ignorant and i haven't really always fully comprehended the discourse. i have never seen an encoder. thanks djs ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
