Good day
Wasn't sure there to post this thread, since is a bit off the Linuxcnc topic but was hoping to get some pointers at least.
problem is related to the current drive protocol that is used in the old Yaskawa cacr-ir series servopacks. it uses Rs-422 protocol with 48khz PWM modulation on the u / V phase to drive the servos. These Servopacks are becoming harder and harder to repair and to buy , prices are sky high.
Will be tapping into the wires shortly to see if I can get some readings from them , wondering if any one on this forum offers Raspery pi or similar programming / development services? Hoping to make a simple dual chanel PWM to 0-10VDC convertor. so I can use regular 0-10VDC command on more modern servopacks.
For more details see:

Thank you kindly to all..

What will be producing the PWM signal?
You can easily make a crude PWM to analog converter with a resistor and capacitor that will be good enough for testing stuff, but for 0-10V it would also need a transistor and another resistor and a 12V power from somewhere.
And just to be clear, modern and old servo drives use +-10V, not 0-10V, so that is another can of worms altogether.
VFD use 0-10V, most new-ish ones can also be programed to use 0-5V so no need for any conversion.

yes it needs to be +-10VDC , a typo.. the pwm comes from the i80 yasnac controller..
