hello all,
I would like to build a single axis linear positioning table for my radial arm saw to cut slots for frets in a guitar fretboard.
a few of the item i have already are:
2 Nema 23 DC servo motors (brushes)
2 US digital E4P encoders,1000 ppr resolution I think
3 gecko 320 drivers
a boston gear DC motor controller, 0-90 VDC @ 5A i think I could use as a power supply for the motors
a sitop 24VDC power supply @ 20A
Rollon bearings and rails
lots of 80/20 type aluminum profile (bossch/rexroth 45x45mm)
I'm sure i'd have no issues building the stage and use 1/2" acme rod for the screw.
but what would/could I use to controll the 320's?
I've only used a G540 before in other projects, and to me its a black box I pluged parts in to.
Just kind of brain storming here.
Thanks in advance
Ray
*edit* I've played around with steppers plenty and want to get some servo experience in
