I only needed to write the turret.comp and I think the s32equal.comp.
The rest were already available. These config files use the old HAL

There is support for the Mesa 7i49 in the 2.5
Yes, I'm ssi on IRC, and the conversion was quite straightforward. I have
$400 in Mesa gear, under $200 for two vfds, and miscellaneous wiring supplies.
The stock resolvers work great with mesa's 7i49, there's no problems with the
Hiak amps. The only issue I ran into was dirty tachs, and th

Indeed, there seems no reason to ditch the amps, you just need a good
EMC-compatible analog output board.

Thank you for the pictures Matt.
I will most likely do the same sort of design.
Today, I disassembled the encoder areas to start finalizing my parts
list.
I am a little worried about how the encoders will hold up. I found a
fair amount of oil around the area close to the turret pneumatics. My

That's what Ray & I did, although I had planned to control the VFD over
its Modbus interface. Last year at the CNC Workshop I adapted some

Thanks for the replies Jon and Ray. Like Ray said, I was wrong about the
servo drivers, they have PWM inputs instead of the analog inputs, which
is even better. So it looks like the Universal PWM controller would be a

Hello all,
I have a Hardinge HNC which I am thinking about converting to EMC. It
was working very well for the previous owner, so I am concerned about
making sure that if I make the conversion, that it works just as well or
better, in order to justify the conversion. Does anyone have any
