Hi, I have a strange setup to solve. So I'm asking you an help, on the top of your knowledge (sorry for any language mistake) Some time ago I have built an inverted wire tetrapod, which was made by 4 winches placed at a max distance of 20 meters one each other in a rectangular shape. So until now it was ok to have a 48v 20A DC power supply and a parallel bob near my pc (an asrock q1900b-itx), and transmit step/dir signals thru ethernet cables to the stepper drivers inside the winches.
Now I have to modify that to make a very little object fly inside a soccer arena, so the motors will be placed at 80 meters one each other, and i'm really worried that a step every 10 will arrive to the drivers, if any at all.. The further motor will be at 150mt if I'm lucky.. An idea can be a mesa ethernet card, but I should use 4 of them, so I'm asking you if you think is possible to make 4 of them work with linuxcnc? Another can be convert in some way step dir signals to optic fiber transport. But i couldn't find anything to buy. Any other suggestion? Thanks, Davide. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
