It says that they take step/dir or clockwise/anticlockwise pulses. LinuxCNC can cheerfully supply both styles. ----------------- Soooo, what's some hardware that will do the job? I'll also need inputs for 2 limit switches and e-stop plus outputs to control the lube pump and spindle on/off and possibly forward/reverse. That's what functions the old system had.
Since I have five of the drives ("have" as in they should be on their way to me today), having the ability control them all would be nice, though to start with I'll stick to the basic XYZ axes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.
