Schaublin 125-CNC retrofit.

Thanks for your inputs guys.This really helps. Analog control it will be.

I got scammed by far east, ordered drivers with analog but got step/dir so I have to live with it, works.

Same brand...

So go with analog Mark.

Thanks, which model number are your drivers?

Could or would you elaborate about the 12Volt DC PC Motherboard you are using ? A 12 Volt DC board would save needing a PC power supply an it's mounting space.

Would re-encasing tho old MAHO computer power supply be of use ?

The old Philips 432 PSU is optimised for the Phillips back plane adapter. I dont mind the little MeanWell HDR series din mount ones. They dont take much space. I might not even need 12V, if I put a Mini-ITX PSU up in the user modele with the PC.

Again I wrote before re -looking at your (great) You-Tube Maho conversion overview . That Phillips 432 has the vertical power supply but later versions used a smaller horizontal type ,mounted under the card cage which slid into base of card cage frame.
I think MeanWell makes a good product in the sense of long term reliably .
It's just me ,but a 12 volt DC mother Bd. and a 12 volt DC LCD display would have many advantages over using a desk top type computer power supply configuration .

I wont be so space limited up in the user module, so it doesn't really bother me what PSU's the PC needs. Would be nice to get one with the 12V input, but then i would probably stumble across a monitor with a 19V need
I considered an Odroid h2+, but at €150+ram+SSD, I am too cheap. I can pick up a Mini-ITX board with ram and SSD from the local classifieds for under €50 any day of the week.

Fun story, I saw a mini-ITX board, loaded, for €15 in my district.

Received " Piss off, you dont honestly think i am going to call some dubious foreign number do you!"
Wrote " Sorry 0664 xxxxxxx - A1 Network"

This is the largest and most common cell provider here, and I would have thought that anyone here is familiar with 664 not being Thailand.

Never heard back.

Sometime the annonymity of the internet lets peoples true natue show, and not in a good way :-O

Regarding the Lichuan A4 servo driver - I just installed two of those on my milling machine with 1kW servos.
Speed mode, analog +-10V input. Works just fine as far as I can tell. As is the case with the drives I have used,
speed/position/torque mode and input source are settable through drive registers.
