Re: Bridgeport Boss 6 Stepper Motors

Hi Jon, Petev, et al,
I found the manual on those motors, and the controllers are the
speed/torque version which take a control voltage. I think you'll
need a Servo-To-Go( approx $800 ) type DAC board to get them running
with EMC etc. Are there cheaper boards out there that are supported?


The "P" versions of the controller appear to have a more step/dir typ
interface.
