General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 and latest ESS Driver - threading now works!

Hi TP,
UCCNC UCCNC is not a feedback controller, neither are any of the UC**** boards ergo not PID capable
PathPilot Mesa card No idea what PathPilot is.....is it realtime PID capable?
PathPilot LPT See above
LinuxCNC Mesa Card LinuxCNC is realtime capable and can be programmed to do realtime PID....if Linux is your thing
LinuxCNC LPT See above
CommandCNC No idea what CommandCNC is.....is it realtime PID capable?
CSlabs Yes CSMIO/A is realtime PID capable at 600Euro, shame about the buggy/lacking Mach4 plugin
PoKeys PoKeys has an on board API that allows for proportional control but cannot do PID
Centroid Acorn A rather more expensive albeit complete solution....not Mach
Centroid Analog See above
Two that should be on this list are:
Hicon With the activation to do PID $1200, good Mach4 plugin
Gallil Starts at $2000 for three axis, recently released Mach4 plugin.
In short there are only three boards that allow genuine PID with Mach, CSMIO/A, Hicon and Galill....all of then way
more expensive than an ESS.
LinuxCNC is capable if Linux is your thing...and that debate is as old as hobby CNC itself.
