Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] PC to driver interface types

Also check out http://www.jraco.com/ this system is a G-Code Controller
front end that in turn controls a Galil motion card plugged into the PC.
The Galil card can output +/- 10V analog, PWM or Step & Direction. I
have this system running on one of my machines with analog AMC amps but
I know it also works with PWM drives from AMC. I was thinking about
setting it up in Step & Direction mode and hooking it up to my Gecko or
Rutex drives to see how that works but haven't got around to it. BTW,
it works brilliantly. (yada yada just a happy customer)

Cheers, Peter
