So how would I connect the four wire stepper motor to my PC to allow for software commutation and continuous rotation of a stepper?
If this works, it could save people money by eliminating the need for a VFD spindle drive and also People are paying quite a lot for these self-contained "closed-loop steppers" If this can already be done in software how? But I have serious doubts a Linuc PC has good enough timing even with an RT kernel. But in theory, how to connect the stepper?
