But, when you think about it, both are updated from the same source at the same time, and there is no extra information in the second channel. What you might find works perfectly well is to short out one or other of the command and feedback channels and to control the other conventionally. The only way to gain any benefit from the internal velocity loop in the drive is if the velocity feedback updates more rapidly than the LinuxCNC command channel. And the only ay I see to do that is with an external hardware board, as originally used. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
