Remora - ethernet NVEM / EC300 / EC500 cnc board

Naming is the biggest problem of programming

A short video on the EC500.

Hi Scot, EC500 will have better frequency more than 40khz ?

The default is 40khz but in the config and LinuxCNC loadrt command it is possible to increase the base thread frequency. Capped at 120khz at the moment.

MX_master's posts has got me working on a DMA step generator which should get the step rate significantly higher, I hope.

This is great work. Currently doing a Denford mill retrofit with parallel cards. I also have an emco little CNC waiting to get converted. Is it possible to get these to work with encoder inputs? Ie a toolchanger?.

For 3D printer controllers, Remora has encoder support. Both in software and QEI for high speed. This is a feature that could be added to the NVEM and EC500 versions.
