Gentlemen
Am returning to the Forum after a long break as I'm upgrading an Emco C5 to "more modern electronics".
I contacted a local supplier seeking a kit of parts which were duly supplied and consists of Bob, stepper motors, drivers, software, etc.
Regarding the spindle motor (180v dc) I have ordered an Asian PWM controller and a Homann isolating interface. My problem is there appears to be no facility on the HG08 Bob to connect this controller or the spindle position index sensor, just a relay.
As screw cutting is high on my list of requirements can anybody suggest a more appropriate Bob or a way of using the HG08 or any other sensible ways of deriving speed and position control with Mach3.
My Thanks in anticipation.
