Mix and match motors

« on: February 02, 2011, 12:29:56 AM »

Is it possible to use my 3 Dc servo motors with 10 v analogue and DSPMC unit and a stepper motor with it's own drive for the rotary table.

Hi Ray,

In short yes.
Mach outputs step and direction signals (in an open ended manner) and it really does not care what type of drives/motors you are using.

I dont think the DSPMC can use Step/Dir drives so I would say no. Rufi will be able to give you a definitive answer though.

Ooops,
Hood is quite right, I was only considering mixing servo drivers and stepper drivers and not operation of Mach under the DSPMC plugin. Embarrassed
