General Mach Discussion / Art of CNC as DRO
« on: August 24, 2006, 09:02:30 AM »
A bit confused as a newbie..
Looking to get the Bridgeport 9x42 converted over and the DRO that was attached has met it's maker. What do I need between the linear encoders and the software to interface the two to use the software as a DRO?? The linear encoders are Mitutoyo's and supposedly have the quadrature output??
Any help is greatly appreciated..
I've bought some NEMA 42 steppers and and ball screw shopping so hopefullly we can convert two axes over within the month. Until then I simply hoping to use software as a DRO..
Cheers,
T
