I was just curious is there was a way to convert the PicoCNC for use with servo motors. I know it is set up for stepper motors, but if I was hypothetically stuck with one through forces beyond my control, could I convert. I guess the largest issue would be making the thing accomodate a feedback loop. Thanks for any input. |

| Servo and Stepper drives are completely different things. Here's a servo system. A little more money, but servos systems almost always are. http://www.cadcamcadcam.com/index.as...ROD&ProdID=116

| Thanks, that seems like a good find. Few questions, I can't see where encoders would be plugged into the box, seems like theres only outlets for the motors. Also, would the 28V/6 amp power supply that comes with it be suitable for most applications, or would it be wise to request teh 120V/10amp system. The final machine my team is building will weigh over 100 pounds, and im trying to get a feel for how much strength my servos would need. |
