Hello,

I am considering using Mesa 5i20 board to drive my gecko stepper drives.
But, something was not clear to me:

How EMC controls speed of axis/joint? Since emc module stepgen, and also
mesa stepgen are using pos-command and pos-fb for controlling joints, it it
not clear to me how EMC keeps constant speed of axis when that speed is
bellow maximum?

I know that there is velocity mode in both modules (emc software stepgen,
and mesa hardware stepgen), but from what I saw, they both are using
position mode instead velocity mode, and yet emc can keep joints at constant
feed rate? Is there any manual about integration of mesa board and steppers?

Thank you very much.

Regards,

Sasa Vilic
