Thanks for your help! As spending some time with machinekit I am getting more comfortable, begin to understand the whole concept of the hal-structure and start to really like that concept. It all makes sense now. @ TJoseph Powderly: Thanks for your explanation, this also makes sense. But for

[Machinekit] RC-Servo as rotary axis for a 5-axis cnc-machine

2017-07-26 Thread ZWN
Hi guys, I am building a 5-axis cnc machine (XYZAB). Four of the axes are going to be driven by stepper motors. The plan is to use a *RC-Servo* (Hitec HS-65HB - https://servodatabase.com/servo/hitec/hs-65hb) for one of the rotary axis (A). The axis is just turning +-90°. My question is:
