Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Lathe controller about mictokinetics

I am running a YAM 14" swing by 28" lathe that has servos with encoders. I
am driving the servos with the ahha software through Oregon Microsystems
step and direction servo drivers. The ahha software will run in either inch
or metric mode.
