You ought to be able to do it with a 7i76 and a 7i77 (that's the stepper board _and_ the servo board at the same time. Otherwise you would need a special firmware I think. 25 pins might be a bit few, though there is a second 25 pin header too. The dedicated daughter boards use serial-connected hardware for the extra IO pins with only the stepgens, encoders and pwms wired direct back to the 5i25. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
