While reading another post I realized that EMC can handle the encoder input
by itself - and at the same time I realized that I can run one of my
machines at home as a direct encoded closed loop. After some more reading
and digging at the cnclinux wiki I think it should be possible to do it with
a Mesa card, so I went to the Mesa webpage and somewhere between the first
and second click on that page I was lost...
I have a machine with linear encoders for a DRO.
I want a driver thingy that I can control with EMC.
I can get any servo between 36 and 90 V for a decent price.
I want to add another parallel port and run the encoders directly to EMC.

Is this possible, what card do I need and how the heck do I configure EMC?

Sven
