I know that LinuxCNC can run nicely with conventional incremental encoders and also with Resolvers using either the Pico convertor or the Mesa 7i49 card. (In fact my Mill runs with a 7i49)
Looking through eBay for servos to convert my lathe I find lots of Mitsubishi and Yaskawa servo motors. These seem to use absolute encoders and a proprietary interface. Does anyone know which, if any, use a SSI, BISS etc interface which can be interpreted by the Mesa absolute encoder interfaces? I think that Fanuc is another option, but I don't know how to differentiate between the various Fanuc encoding and commutation schemes. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
