Hi Guys -- I'd like to know if it's possible to make a stepper driver controller that can output step and direction signals and control it over a network.
Each controller would have its own network address and would/could set and return rotation speed (pulse frequency), distance (total pulses), acceleration, turn each motor on and off, etc.
I also need to be able to control each motor at precise angular rates within 1/16 or 1/64th of a microsecond.
If you could do this with a Trinamic type stepper driver, that would be even better.
The same for optical encoders -- return the current angular position, reset the position, etc., as separate devices on a network.
Each device would have its own Teensy and Ethernet connection.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
