Of course you can. I have a machine set-up running like this now. But as some
others have already said, the speed of software step generation will be your
limiting factor. If I had to do it over I would have taken a different route
with my set-up, and used hardware step generation (probably w

Yes, absolutely.
In fact there are at least two ways to do it.
You can run open-loop, sending positi
Can the stepper motor 'step & direction' output from EMC2 be used to
run a servo based system that has step & direction input amplifiers
where the servo motor encoder feed back goes into the amp and not EMC2?
I believe the Yaskawa Sigma II amps can run in this mode. My
thought was to build
