Poorly N sick Fadal 15 VMC Will live again!

A KFlop witih a Kanalog can be made to work with resolvers, but it can be hit or miss, as it depends on how the resolvers respond, and how well they can be tuned.

Most resolvers take the same excitation frequency (10kHz), but they often have different transformation ratios. If you don't have a scope to check, or know what voltage levels are required then it would end up being hit and miss.

Jonathan, you volunteering to aid in the mission of the Linux CNC side of things?

I'll keep an eye on this thread for any questions.

However as Jonathan has mentioned, I do think I have come across an interface board for resolvers, but I can't remember any details.

That not quite what I was thinking, but is probably a better idea. I once programmed a micro-controller to convert a digital encoder (BiSS) into analogue signals to match with a motor drive that wouldn't accept much else. Going the other way round is actually easier.

Dean, would it solve problems if you had a little board that took resolver signals and converted them to e.g. quadrature?
