CS-Lab / CSMIO/IP-A 4th axis step/dir

« on: October 27, 2015, 06:44:02 PM »

If I deside to get of of these to drive my existing servo drives, can I configure it some how to use a step/dir signal for my a axis?  Basically I would like to use my existing servo system but add a rotary axis using and extra dc servo drive and motor that accepts step and direction signals.
Thanks

Just edit the code manually before running. It will take some time depending on the number of moves. But insert a m0 before each z move.

Just like 3 axis just put a optional stop in before each z move. Move it manually the continue. I did this for a while when I lost a drive.

Direction wire. Either on the break out board or at the drive.

That's is kind of what I thought. They list those as out of stock. Is this the same idea?

General Mach Discussion / differential mpg

« on: August 23, 2015, 08:02:05 PM »

Maybe I overlooked something, but how do I set up an differential mpg? Under ports and pins I only see a setting for channel a and b, no a, a-, b, b-.  I tried only using the a and b, but I am getting random moves.  Not the same each detent click. I didn't see anything in the ess setting either. Am I missing something simple?
