Hello,
i'm thinking of purchasing a Kflop motion controller for my DIY cnc mill
but i'm having issues understanding from the manuals how the IO works.
i need to control
- 4 movement servos and one spindle servo (all with encoders feedback).
- some relays and solenoids
Q
- is there any simple breakout board that provides simple screw terminals to all IO? maybe some relays? kanalog seems to add i/o's which i don't need (and costs as much as the kflop itself)
- i don't understand the difference between general purpose IO pins and ones designated to a specific task. like on JP7 - you can either have a step/dir axis or home switches? can't you have both?
- regarding the PC itself, i'm thinking of coupling Kflop with Lattepanda's single board windows 10 PC, it's a quad core Intel atom with 4 gigs of ram, any reason why it shouldn't work?
thanks,
Gilad
