These servo motors have integrated motion controller and drive, and are connected via a hub I don't have any clearpath experience, but I've watched a fair number of videos about their product and I guess in the linuxcnc world I'd just ask why bother? I understand that linux cnc has been a parallel port interface, but I don't know if that has changed I am hoping to build a cnc router setup based on ClearPath by Teknic motors. I am new to linuxcnc and am wondering if it supports usb or ethernet interface. Index Recent Topics Search Hi I ahve 2 questions. I understand that linux cnc has been a parallel port interface, but I don't know if that has changed. I am by no means a Linux expert so progress will be slow.Please Log in or Create an account to join the conversation. I have been getting spikes of up to 12ms but I believe thats because I am constantly sending and receiving. Well, to answer that, I am averaging 93us for a send and receive. I also am sending back X and Y axis end stop bits. I currently only have one encoder but all three feedbacks work individually.

Either way i hope to keep this easy enough to change between Steppers and Servos or a mix of both. Any ideas where i can get such an ethernet card? My build will be mainly geared around servo control since I want to use servos instead of steppers but could easily be modified for stepper control. So i have to find some other network card that uses a e or r driver for linux.

Found out that the hardware that i have is not compatible with RT-Net unless I create a driver for it.

Not really an update but just thought I'd throw up a video of motor encoder counts being sent over ethernet. To make the experience fit your profile, pick a username and tell us what interests you.
