Closing the loop with Linuxcnc, adding encoders to Mesa FPGA?

[Desertboy]

Still the Beta v2.8 for auto-squaring. They're still developing v2.7 as the main thread even though the beta version is actually quite stable, though fundamentally different under the bonnet. Might be worth checking out both versions for the features you want since v2.8 seems to have been all about making radical changes to the core software in order to do new things v2.7 simply isn't able to.
Just remember to CLONE YOUR HARD DRIVE before you make any changes.

If I'm going to linuxcnc route with encoders I really want dual homing, it just "completes" the picture nicely.

I can cut at 10m/min with great success but for some reason my sizes are out, my 3d carvings are coming out good.

I did some simple tests moving X 10mm then back to 0 1000 times same with Y not seeing as lost steps.

It also cuts the same size at 1m/min and 10m/min.

I only cut wood it's my thing, I don't even touch ply just real wood.

If I can close the loop using my AM882's with a breakout board for the Mesa step generator card I own and changing some motors I'll do it just for piece of mind.
