I have a router wired with Sanyo Denki Q series drives and Motors. The motors spin fine with the Q setup software when connecting to each drive. I was going to control the router in LinuxCNC using a Mesa card. But never got it all working. I want to go back to Mach since I am familiar with it. I know I will be giving up allot by going with MAch but at this point I just need it working.
The Mesa Card had Step-, Step+ ,Dir-,Dir+ which I hooked to the CN1 port via pins 26,27,28,29.
I set the control mode to "Position" in the Drives .
In Linux I believe it was UP Down Mode.
How do I hook up the step and direction to a standard break out board for Mach?
Do I need a differential line driver? OR?
Attached is a schematic of the connection. It shows a differential driver.
If I need the driver is there someone that sells them already made up for this application?
