The computer itself contains no power drivers, so you must use some sort of an external amplifier in order to drive the motor(s). The simplest setup and the one I use is a 'xylotex' kit. It does stepper motors very well, and with sufficient power to drive most any table top sized mill including the Seig X3 which at about 500 pounds, does stretch the definition of 'table' a bit. Also steppers have been and will continue to be used on Bridgeport sized machines. As for servo's, (which supposedly know where they are, something steppers have no knowledge of) that's a different ball game I have little experience with except in the video tape recorder field (I'm a retired broadcast engineer), so I'll let someone more familiar with their requirements elaborate on that subject. >thank you! >yang > > > >------------------------------------------------------------------------- >This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge >Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great > prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in > the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ >_______________________________________________ >Emc-users mailing list >[email protected] >https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
