Pretty wide among modern absolute encoders, which are expensive and therefore not so familiar for hobbyists. 2013/5/30 Dave <[email protected]> > BISS and SSI encoders are quite popular for absolute encoders.

LinuxCNC definitely lacks support for modern hardware like SSI and BiSS absolute encoders, CANopen, EtherCAT drives etc. In fact, step/dir and +-10V remain the only supported control interfaces for almost 20 years since EMC was started. It holds the project away from modern industrial CNC. You can say that those interfaces are not popular amongh LinuxCNC users. Maybe so, but this is because no one with modern servo drives would not come to LinuxCNC.
