Re: Driver for Servo and I/O board


Henry Palonen
 

Ok, I must then start seeking different ways for controlling my
setup. I got the card free of charge from one guy who wanted me to
write an EMC driver for it. And I could just easily use steppers for
my setup, or boards that allow step/dir in and servo out.

I haven't written any drivers in Windows, all drivers I have made
have been in Linux. In Windows I have made just "plain" software and
some dll's for our company.

Thanks for quick answer,

Henkka

Hi Henry:

Sorry, but it would be just about impossible. The Mach2 driver is
extremely tight, Servo-To-Go people took a look at the problem and
gave up.
The driver and the OCX are just too strict in the way they do
things in a
buffered environment that it doesn't easily translate to anything
like doing
a linux driver for it. It could be done, but I doubt you'd want
to put in
that kind of work for a single board. Have you coded WDM drivers
under NT
before ??
