Most Resolver converters (including the Mesa 7i49 and the STMBL drive) expect to be supplying the excitation signal and read the output synchronously to that signal. If the drive is already supplying the excitation most of the off-the-shelf converters won't work. Also, the Magnescales have a much finer pitch and are on the actual slides, so there is no worry about backlash between the motor and the table. -- 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, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
