Re: How to use encoders instead of servos
I don't get what you are looking to achieve that is not accomplished by any fully closed loop servo system.
The whole idea of a servo is that the loop is closed via an encoder or other feedback element, known as the PID loop, This is done with Mach except that it is the drive that closes the loop, Mach as the trajectory planner does not know the position.
For this you would need Kflop or the Linux based EMC comes closer to it, there is also Galil Motion cards that come close as any to commercial systems.
