hi all.
Bought a big old holzher machine. I'm in the process of pulling all of the unnecessary stuff off it to simply reduce complexity, and re-wiring it all down to just drives, controller, servos and limit switches
Thankfully I have a friend who is well versed in 611 setup but he has no experience with diy/hobby grade controllers.
Which of these two (UCCNC or LINUXCNC) is able to beat make use of the drives encoder output? I understand the drives and servos are closed loop, and I understand that UCCNC can take the encoder values and use them to display position but seems wasted if it cannot do any form of error correction or alarm.
Keen to hear any advice on the subject (eg, if this closed loop functionality between controller and drives is completely redundant and I'm thinking irrationally, please say so :-)
