I'm getting ready to upgrade my machine from steppers to servos, but am a little unsure on what would be needed.
I know I need servos. The only low cost servos I have found so far are from keling. I'm probably going to go with the KL23-130-60 NEMA 23 sized servos. The link is here http://www.kelinginc.net/ServoMotors.html . If anyone knows who else sells low cost servos, I would very much be interested in any info you might have. The next part is where I am confused. I was looking at the Gecko Drive G320X. Is it correct in thinking this would be used just like a stepper driver with the step, dir inputs and emc would know nothing about the encoder positions on the servos? Instead of the G320X, if i got a mesa FPGA card, could I use any generic h-bridge with the mesa card to control the servo and have the servo encoders read by the mesa fpga card?
