Hi all,

I am designing a new machine and would like to use Ditron magnetic scales on X & Y. 

• The Y axis has dual motors, should I use a scale on each side or just one?
• Any recommendations of mesa boards to use here? 7i95T + 7i84U or 7i96 + 7i85
• Whats the process for setting this up in LCNC?
• I don’t believe these scales are differential signal, should I look for that?
  
  Many thanks for your help!

I hadn't gotten to the "asking for help" part yet. I only started last night. And much of that was trying to work around bugs in pncconf. Yes, I'll report them.

It's definitely a programming language -- you just find it easy, since apparently you have a background in electronics. I do too. But there's a reason circuits are designed graphically, and not in text files -- they're easier to understand that way.

Played around with grbl a while ago, my little 3 axis BangGood thingy uses grbl, but even that I use that for a test bed when working on stuff, mainly getting hostmot2 firmware running on various Spartan6 dev boards......I can't even explain the time I've spent to getting a working Ethernet setup going. Got a bit to learn about designing PCBs.

The thing is I've worked as either a builder's labouer or civil labourer (road works) the most complicated thing we have to use is a spirit level and string line when grade checking.
