This mean than, that I cannot use two servo motors for the same axis, because each motor has its own encoder. Is it than possible to use two axis, to control same joint? On Sun, Oct 19, 2008 at 4:25 PM, Jeff Epler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes. Using HAL, you can connect the same commanded po

Yes. Using HAL, you can connect the same commanded position (e.g., axis.0.motor-pos-cmd) to any number of things, something like net Xpos-cmd axis.0.motor-pos-cmd => stepgen.0.position-cmd stepgen.4.position-cmd You can only connect one feedback position, though: net Xpos-fbd stepgen.0.p

[Emc-users] synchronizing two servo motors on the same axis

Hi, is it possible to have to servo motors on the same axis (controlled by EMC), so they work together and move this joint together. Thanks Sasa - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge
