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: Is it possible to integrate the rc-servo to the axis-system, because so far I just found the option to integrate stepper motors. Just to clarify, I am not talking about the normal type servos… the one I want to use works with pwm… my model has a pulse cycle of 20ms. During this 20ms it expects a pulse with a length between 900µs and 2100µs, 900µs for -90° and 2100µs +90°. So the pulselength defines the position of the axis. I know that there is a RC-Servo-Test (http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?RC_Servo_Test), but I am honestly speaking not yet deep enough into hal to know if this code will do me any good. Also I have seen this conversation about rc-servos (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/machinekit/rc$20servo|sort:relevance/machinekit/F1LWtX0vnew/dmgj1jgLBQAJ). However, this ends without any result L BTW.: The platform will be a beaglebone black. So far I am planning to without any commercial cape, but soldering my own.
