Emco f1 mill conversion help
I bought an Emco F1 mill a year ago and tried to use it, but was not happy with the control. I since have started to put together bits and pieces for a PC based retrofit. So far I have been going down the DC servo route, which was a little more costly, but is geared more towords continuious use, and accuracy. I have bought Gecko 340 drives, Sound logic breakout board,relay board, CNC Zeus software, a Torid power supply, prox sencers and electrocraft dc motors with encoders, which I may need to change? I've only gotten this far due to input from various web-sites I've visited. I am a fair programmer and a good machinist, and have the desire and passion for learning control electronics and mini machine building. I am open to any thoughts related to this conversion project good or bad.
Thanks in advance!
