Roberto, I am also interested in 3-phase bridge for BLDC servos. What is your progress? Marius On 2013.03.23 22:08, Roberto Sassoli wrote: hello i'm an italian new user of EMC2 excuse my bad english can i use the function 3PWM included in 5i23 SVTP6_7I39 firmware file with a 7i43 board?

I tried to explore different possibilities and I am turning to use LinuxCNC to close a PID loop and maybe use MESA cards, but.. Where should I seek for motors, compatible with 7i39? If not 7i39, where to seek for PWM / dir or analog amplifiers, servo motors? Would you give some good suggestions?

I have a customer in Lithuania (Europe), a company which wants to automate / retrofit many different metal working machines. They would like to find logical, optimal way of motion control and follow it later on. It is clear that they want to use a closed loop control type. They started and

What is your opinion of such a solution: put simple magnets on all of the motor shafts, install hall-sensor, connect it to LinuxCNC and program it to estop when encoder and hall-sensor signals mismatch. Good recommendation I think would be to connect hall-sensor and encoder using different

I know such thing like feedrate (F in G-code), but don't know any parameter of velocity for combined moves. Does it exist? How is it called like and where to find it? Regarding Mach3 - I think I will be forced to try it with this machine too. Steve Blackmore st...@pilotltd.net wrote in

I just converted one CNC router with steppers from OEM hardware controller to PC with EMC2. Everything seems ok, but the milling speed when milling relief is worse than before. I tried G61, G61.1 and G64, G64Pxxx, but either I get too much vibrations / surface not clear enough or not enough speed,
