Hello,
I'm considering to use a servo motor/driver or hybrid stepper motor/driver as spindle in my a new lathe I'm retrofitting.
I think I understand that I have to use the spindle output by choosing PWM.
- What frequency to use for a driver that accepts step / dir signals? (HBS86H or Delta ASD)
- How to connect the spindle output "S" and and "0" to the step / dir inputs and the enable of the driver?
- Can I use an "axis" output to drive the spindle motor which must still respond to the g-codes M3, M4 and M5? (At the moment I am not interested in using the spindle as a "C" axis.)
- Servomotors or hybrids, usually, have a 1024 PPR quadrature encoder on board, but it seems to have understood that Planet MK3 controller prefers 100 PPR encoders for synchronization. Must replace the encoder on board?
Thank you for all helps.
