Of course you can. I have a machine set-up running like this now. But as some
others have already said, the speed of software step generation will be your
limiting factor. If I had to do it over I would have taken a different route
with my set-up, and used hardware step generation (probably
Can the stepper motor 'step direction' output from EMC2 be used to
run a servo based system that has step direction input amplifiers
where the servo motor encoder feed back goes into the amp and not EMC2?
I believe the Yaskawa Sigma II amps can run in this mode. My
thought was to build a

Yes, absolutely.
In fact there are at least two ways to do it.
You can run open-loop,

John,
I have run 3 of these on a mill without any major issues.the only
problem I have found is that some of the revixsion of the controller pcb
used opto isolators witha limiting resitor in series with led in the
opto. this tends to cut down the highest speed you can run at. my fix on
Anything you can add will help others speed past this part of installing and

Where can I get more information on Hostmot2?
I think the Hostmot2 files are on the Mesa website, but my understanding
was that they only work with the 5i22. I should look more closely at
the VHDL source I guess :)
At the moment, there is no EMC2 driver for

Are you talking about reconfiguring the 5i20 after loading EMC and the
5i20 driver? Normally, I would think, you would create the new
configuration in a new driver. It certainly would be cool to be able to
dynamically configure EMC and the 5i20, but might not be good
Of course, it would have been better if I had put parts 1, 2, and 3 in
the correct numerical order.
Please rearrange in your head ;)

Still grepping through log
I am starting work on my mill setup, which uses Sanyo BLDC motors and
Rutex drives. The Rutex drives have SPI and step/direction inputs.
Without thinking too much about it, I brought up the standard stepper
configuration in Axis and before I tried to command a move, I grabbed
the motor shaft and
Help please
I have successfully ungraded to EMC2 (Ubuntu) and things are running
smoothly with my Stepper motors using the standard set up files. I had
to add/adjusted the step length which now seems fine, but have changed
little else.
My only problem is, the axis are going the wrong ways!
Easiest way will be editing HAL file which describes the stepper
output pins connection and you are done in 30 seconds ;-)
