If it is Aa64 then the Fanuc hostmot2 component ought to work. https://linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/man/man9/hostmot2.9.html#Fanuc%20encoder (Others might too) The voltage and current are inside the range of the 8i20. The 8i20 needs to be externally commutated (In HAL) using the "bldc" hal component using the encoder feedback. I have been using 8i20s in my mill and lathe for several years with few problems. The STMBL drive has a Fanuc encoder component: https://github.com/rene-dev/stmbl/blob/master/src/comps/encf.c and would probably be a very good choice, if you can find any. They aren't really available at the moment without making them yourself and sourcing discontinued parts. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
