[Emc-users] Newall DRO integration

[David B. <be...@ub...>]

Anyone have any experience integrating a Newall DRO into linuxcnc? I  
happened up a scale/read head for quite cheap with no display. It might be  
a useful tool for roughly calibrating axis, or doing whatever other random  
tasks in future. I don't necessarily need it to be part of a control loop  
at this point, I'm mostly just curious if it's practical to cook up  
reading circuitry and get the data in via some sort of Mesa card?

It's a Newaall Spherosyn.


Thanks,

Dave
