General Mach Discussion / Will Mach Output Quadrature ?
« on: March 11, 2008, 09:14:43 AM »
Hi all, I am building a servo system and the drive I am using (DSPIC) uses quadrature (CW - CCW) for the input instead of step/dir.
I can change the step/dir to quadrature with logic but I was wondering if Mach will support this outright ?
From what I understand quadrature is faster than step/dir as it can be written to the port in one cycle instead of two.
I posted this exact question over on CNCZone but have not had any replies yet, so I thought I would ask here
Cheers.
