everyone keeps talking about encoder inputs.. Are we talking real servos with feedback or software one that looks at the output pulses to verify output? I have 5 CNC machines and only one has encoders, am I missing something? i think most diy are openloop other the spindle.
Thanks
Thanks

I think most people do use open loop.
But as I have been upgrading I have added encoders to all axis.
I love the ability to have a encoder on my spindle for rigid taping. I might only do it a bit but it's great to have.

Hi there
I see this project is targeted mostly at printers is there a reason why I couldn't be using it with a Black Pill + Chinese BOB? If so what would I need to do to achieve this? I'm surprised this Idea is not more popular looking at the other MCU Projects (Arduino, Teensy, ESP32..)
Sorry I have not setup any linuxcnc ever so its a bit hard for me to asses even though I can read code.
Thanks a lot!
Alessandro
EDIT: Sorry I realised the last few pages were actually about this topic: is there a working project with this or people using SKRs with external drivers?

I am using mine on a CNC mill.
I use external stepper motor drivers.
I also have a board that converts pwm into true 0-10v spindle control.
You just need a rpi4 and one of the supported 3d printer main boards

I'm talking about real AC or DC servos or closed loop steppers with hardware encoders that read actual machine position or motor shaft position back to a PID. Not just a stepgen that double checks its Step count. Encoders are very low cost now compared to a decade or two ago.everyone keeps talking about encoder inputs.. Are we talking real servos with feedback or software one that looks at the output pulses to verify output? I

$15 SPI bus extender board
Using a ±60V fault protected differential transceiver, the LTC4332 can transmit SPI data, including an interrupt signal, up to 2MHz over two twisted-pair cables.
It uses the LTC4332
Haven't tried it yet with Remora.

Have you documented your setup somewhere? Very curious how it looks in reality, thanks!

Any chance of looking at moving the Teensy 4.x into this project? Been thinking about trying to get some use out of one on my LinuxCNC machines but no real projects have popped up yet..... 600mhz (can overclock to 1ghz), 4 hardware encoders that can theoretically run @ 150mhz, ethernet, SPI, pins are a bit limited but there's ways around that.
For the hardware encoders to be utilized, a special library is used....
github.com/mjs513/Teensy-4.x-Quad-Encoder-Library
Like I said I make a few things using Teensy's so I'm hoping someone gets a LinuxCNC thing going so I can do something along those lines

You already found the other thread for the Teensy 4.1 forum.linuxcnc.org/18-computer/43212-teensy-based-cnc-board
Nobody has publicly posted their intentions or code for the Teensy 4.1 yet. Just questions and some info about it so far.
