Are there any alternative options to the 7190 available this side of the pond, or do I need to bring a few over to keep cost down? Anybody working on a 'plugin' to work with PoKey family as an alternative? I get the various thoughts on 'intelligent' motor drives, but I still think that a multi-channel module that can keep all the axis in sync and handle all the acceleration management is a tidier solution than trying to do that between different modules? But is a generic co-processor the right solution? Or is one of the motion control options worth the extra money? And to go with the pi3 I'm looking at one of the LCD touch screen modules which do not cost much these days, but I think I'll keep to a wired keyboard. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting.
