I have a page that has some fairly old information here: http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/EMC2/dro_vfd/ If you have .0005" resolution scales, you could probably just use a parallel port and software (de)encoder component for the encoder input. The recently released GladeVCP and parts of LinuxCNC 2.5 may make for a better interface. Also, your scales will need to have quadrature (A, B, Z(Index)) outputs, or a converter may be needed. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
