    PathPilot + Mesa 5125...closed loop

    I have this setup with the new Tormach controller and 3ph steppers. I know both LinuxCNC and the Mesa 5i25 are compatable with encoder feedback and true closed loop. Has anyone tried this? Seems trivial on the "add encoders to the steppers" end, but what would need to happen on the electronics/ programming side to make this happen?

    As always,
    Thanks guys

    Re: PathPilot + Mesa 5125...closed loop

    my closed loop works by electronics where linuxcnc just now the encoder values but the liogic is done by electronics i guess you want linuxcnc to do the correction i have seen an wiki where the guys use a glass measurement to correct their backslash that would be my startpoint
