I am looking for a little advise. I bought a Falcon F1 that has been converted on Mach 3 some time in the past. It is currently running the following,

Galil DMC-4153 Motion Controller
Servo Dynamics 1525-RB Analog Servo Drivers
SEM 143V DC Brushed Servos
Anallog 10V Tachs on Servo
Glass Scale Encoders


In reading about the Galil controllers, they get really good reviews but they seem like they are difficult to get running, and they have an interface with mach 3 but it seems to be problematic.

I also know that glass scales are finicky when they get dirty.

And i dont know but it seems that an digital servo setup would be more accurate than a analog setup.

I am thinking about changing it all out with the following

UC300ETH-5LPT
UB1 Motherboard
DG4S-16035 Servo Drivers
AMT102 Encoders at 2048 PPR
Reuse the Brushed DC Servo Motors
UCCNC Motion Controller

What would you guys do?

Also, I can reuse the DC Servo motors with the new drivers and just change out the encoders right?
