Re: [Emc-users] Is Ohmikron SDS0707 CNC control system supported by EMC/EMC2 ?

Thanks a lot for all those links and information. I'm not sure if I could handle DIY CNC. The reason I look at Ohmikron and Xylotex systems is their completeness and low price. Are there information about complete DIY CNC systems based on servos and for low knowledge level person or with down t

No. deskcnc uses a proprietary protocol to communicate with its external box and is not compatible with emc2. This system plus suitable motors is what the earlier poster may have had in mind: http://pico-systems.com/smallpwm.html Jeff

Documentation on Ohmikron's parallel interface in on separate page dedicated to PPT1006 . Follow detail links from SDS0707's page When you mentioned "brushed DC servo system" were you talking about IMService's DeskCNC ? At the moment it's over my budged. What would be advantage(s) of it over CNC

I had couple direct emails with Phil. He wasn't willing to provide more details then on his web site. SDS accepts control signals over parallel port and seems to use Xylotex like mapping of pins. Phil said it would worm fine with EMC, but I have no idea how easy or difficult would it be to configur

Hello, I've recently joined this group. Going CNC direction with my Sherline lathe and mill. Could not find much info about support for Ohmikron SDS0707 CNC control system under EMC or EMC2. Are there any happy user of this CNC driver under EMC/EMC2 ? How hard was it to configure EMC and is there
