Just some thinking out loud!! Is it possible to put a rotation detector on a spindle, use it as an input to EMC and then have EMC drive some type of digital to analog converter to change the speed until it agrees with the desired setting? Based on some past discussions on the list, I believe the answer to be yes. If so, what type of rotation detection is needed? What is the best way to convert the EMC output to be a control force for the spindle? I am talking about a spindle on the X3 Seig Mill. I am planning to convert the current gear drive to a two range belt drive, and since the current controller appears to use a pot to adjust the speed and a switch to change direction I believe I could use some type of control voltage and a relay to replace the pot and switch. I would appreciate any suggestions as I explore deeper.
