What am I doing this for?
I suppose the initial idea was just to get the THC as responsive as possible, whether there would be any benefit over running the THC via Mach to the CSMIO I don't know, maybe it would actually be faster doing away with the Mini THC and using the CSMIO's built in THC function. Just don't know at this stage.
I have emailed Denis to see what the response rate of the MiniTHC is, will see what the reply is, might be too slow to take any advantage that the THC direct to servo would give (if it even would anyway
)
Made a board up last night with a couple of optos and just hooked it up to see what it was like, seemed fine and I never even let any smoke out, so that is a bonus
Here is a vid of it working, obviously it doesn't show much except the servo getting to speed very quicky in either direction.
