Yea I remember that thread. The end result is that the architecture of the EMCO PC Mill 50 is fundamentally incompatible with the architecture of EMC. EMC needs to be in direct control of the motors and etc. The EMCO has electronics inside it that already implement all that with closed loop control

We are basically in agreement. I just imagine that when EMC hits the limits you described we will end up needing to use more intelligent hardware outside the computer not faster bus interfaces to it. Say an FPGA based controller. On Sat, Apr 10, 2010 at 9:08 PM, Jon Elson wrote: > evan f

You don't require that kind of bandwidth to move a stepper motor. To get values in from an encoder it might be nice to go faster but there are other interfaces that work better for that. A better idea I feel would be to re-write EMC so that instead of relying on the computer to be doing real time y
