The whole point is that I don't have any feedback from steppers at this stage, and as I said, the "cheapest" solution would be to simply change the existing one with the one with closed loop "future" (and also drivers). So the basic idea might be to use In-Position signal (output) from stepper driver and when this goes fault, it triggers "following error" in linuxcnc. Could this work?
Anyone using this stepper system from kelinginc? http://www.automationtechnologiesinc.com/products-page/nema23-closed-loop-stepper-motor-system-hybrid-servo-kit/hybrid-servo-drive-kl-5080h > > It isn't immediately clear what advantage it gives over normal > steppers other than stall-detection.
