You _probably_ don't need to take the tachos to LinuxCNC.

Typically the tachos connect only to the servo drives to feed back velocity, and the analogue voltage input from the controller sends a velocity command based on position feedback from the glass scales.

The Leinien FM1 looks like a lovely little thing.

An all-in-one solution from Mesa would be: store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=produc...id=397&search=analog
But there might be cheaper options (for example 6i24 + 7i33TA) but the 7i97T ethernet option will work with just about any supported computer, including the Raspberry Pi.

Other options exist. EtherCAT, Pico PPMC for example.

One of the LinuxCNC developers lives in Münster, I think.

Fleshing out the rest of the bits.
Found a nicer cheap 21" touch panel on waveshare, seems like it would work well as a vertical panel with qtdragon

Dear members,

a simple question. I hope, that somebody knows the answer and responds.

I would like to connect 3 Heidenhain glas scales LS303  and 1 Heidenhain rotary sensor ROD450 via the EXEs.

Thanks a lot in advance and best regards

Hartwig

Can you help with how to control the flow rate from a virtual slider pot on the AXIS virtual control panel.

I remember the time when Intel payed developers to make Linux boot in under 10 seconds...and some other nice memories (i do not mean RAM or ROM memories )
BTW, they did make it boot in under 10 seconds back then, even from a CD.

What were the results?

What does

in a terminal return?
