Two axis motor driver control
Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2012 2:39 pm
Here is something that may be useful to someone.
This project allows basic starting and stopping of two axis in a sequence. During the sequence a data logger records the two positions, along with a third axis which is only used for feedback input of a quadrature encoder.
The project uses three Phidget single motor amplifiers, each with an encoder input.
I'm sure it can be done better, but it worked quite nicely for what it was intended (a measuring data log).
With the flurry of recent activity from the SM guys, hopefully this may be useful now. Welcome guys! I for one am glad to have you. Hopefully the forum will get more activity as you all come over. Hopefully we will see some flowstone synthesizers around real hardware now getting built...
