Re: Servo motor question
Tim Goldstein wrote: What model tape drive? Hmmm, the .5 Amp rating sounds REAL fishy. If that really is the limit, at 24V, that is a 12 Watt motor! It shouldn't be able to even move a

No, not if you get several people involved in it. What you really want is to get somebody to make a glass master pattern (either film emulsion or

Re: EMC C Code
Generally, NO WAY! Consider that this is about 50,000 lines of mostly C++, with one section in C, that has only been run on Unix-derived systems for a couple of years. (It was ported to NT, but

Re: 10 amps to drive steppers
Mo, I would be interested in the circuit you are thinking of for an overheat shutoff for this controller. I currently have no need to push higher amps, but I like the idea of getting some protection

Re: 10 amps to drive steppers
Here are some of the problems that I ran into when I tried to hot rod this circuit: I started with a layout that Kevin Carroll sent to me. This is similar to what Dan is selling, only Dan's is much

Re: Machine geometry
Geoff , The size of the table depends on what you plan to make. I have a 4' by 4' moving gantry system which has some play in it. I am currently building a 2' by 2' fixed bridge cnc router that

Re: 10 amps to drive steppers
higher .1ohms Matt, I wish you luck! It is far nicer to explore at the ends of the envelope when you have a safety chute. Getting the board to run at high Amps is one thing, getting it to run reliably

Re: Servo motor question
Jon is the real expert on this, but some of the issues are: 1. Does the motor "cog" when you turn it? These probably won't given their application but if you run into any others this is one thing to

Servo motor question
I was just a local salvage yard and they had a few DEC Magtape units that had what appeared to me to be servo motors to drive the tape reels. My question to you servo guru's (Matt, Jon, & ??) are

Re: 10 amps to drive steppers
Is this a Bridgeport In the BOSS 3-6 range? If so I am retrofitting one now using the Camtronics board (I hope!) If I read the BP documentation correctly, the desired motor current is 8 amps. The

Hi all, I just caught up on all the posts on encoder read heads. Interesting stuff. I thought I would throw a few thing in the mix. I used to work for HP, and did a few projects with the OED

10 amps to drive steppers
I bought an old CNC mill and need to retrofit it. It has some ancient 3 phase electronics, huge inductors, and so on to drive the steppers. That will all be replaced with modern electronics- the
