Indeed, once you find where the analogue voltage has to go and which wire is which on the resolvers it should all be relatively simple. With apologies to jon@pico-systems (who has a system that would work well) I think this sounds like a perfect fit for the Mesa 5i24 and 7i49 combination. Depending on how much GPIO you need you would probably also want one or two 7i37TA boards too. (or if you need more GPIO than that, possibly 7i44 + N * smart-serial GPIO boards) I don't see any mention of Resolver interfaces on the General Mechatronics site. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
