Newbie: Which card would be suitable 5I23 or 5I20

Hi,

I am in the process to build an independent CNC controller for used milling
and lathe machines; for the purpose I have decided to work on EMC2 (as
adviced earlier in the group).

At the hardware-end I am confused to select the card that shall work for
some time. On the mesa-electronics website I saw different cards that are
supported by EMC2 and I selected 5I23 but when I contacted the Mesa
they told me that the linux driver is in development phase and would be
available in a week (not sure if it would be tested enough to use for end
product).

Can anyone please guide me if I should wait for the driver to come o better
use 5I20. I just need a motion control card that should be able to work for
used machines of multiple axis.

Thanks

Fakhar



We are a solution provider in reconditioning/retrofitting different CNC machines.
Our major expertise are CNC Milling and Lathe. We are planning to build a
standard independent CNC controller for our machine(s).

Please give us some more details about 5I23 card. We wonder if this card
is supported by EMC2. Also please tell us if you could provide the sample Linux
code.
