Controller for 8NM closed loop leadshine drivers

Ps I too am planning on using Easy Servos so will be keen to see how you get on...

I bought one of these kflop motion controllers to control steppers on a small router. In the end I sold the router before fitting the card but they are worth researching as an option. Motion controller boards have been springing up everywhere over the last couple of years, so things may have moved on fromt the kflop.

You can also close the loop on the Kflop and it works with glass scales.

I've been using eding cnc's CPU5B & Software which is very useful and Damen CNC sell connectors that allow you connect directly from the PCB to Driver, (Greatly reducing the amount of wiring)

Another advantage of this system is that the error reporting from the servo drives can be easily fed back to the cpu.

I'm using these and if you get missed steps the drive just shuts down, so if you dont feed the error back to the control board the other 3/4 axis would carry on regardless!

I'm not sure how easy that is to do in mach, but its a defo if you want to get best use from your investment in the servo drives!

Also a good time to buy from the continent with exchange rate being what it is...
