That's not necessarily true. You can see step-dir as just another velocity command method, like analogue voltage or PWM. If you use velocity-mode stepgens instead of pwms then the LinuxCNC part would look very much the same. This does assume you can get the encoder signals back to LinuxCNC from the drives, though. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.
