Hello everyone,
this is my first message to post on this site.I have recently
purchased a Matchmaker ST-N vertical cnc mill in good condition
except for a faulty posidata controller,which I plan to replace by
going the Linux/EMC/ServoToGo route.The machine is fitted with 3/4hp
servos and Westamp servo amplifiers.While I have some knoweledge of
electronics and have identified most of the wiring ,I am still a bit
lost at the software end.Information from anyone who has carried out
a similar retrofit would be greatly appreciated. Should I use a type
1 or 2 STG card ?
Congratulations to all involved on an excellent site.
Thanks, Jim .
