The clearpath MCxx versions are quite good . MCVC install methods covered in this thread are a great help.
Tech bulletin and schematic compilation would be great. Thanks to all for this.
In my study of these various methods , one thing stands out , that being noise immunity.The ASU-FR510 Analog Send Unit (A/D converter) that clearpath offers for 0-10vdc analog from acorn to digital signals out to MCVC motor is one option as mentioned. It Seems when converting anything there is some loss of some kind ,performance or signal . Loss to noise on digital line would be an concern ?
My question is ,in the methods by using PWM to control the servo CW / CCW and Dir , either unipolar or bipolar, what is the best noise immune way to wire this ? Or is this even a problem. $60 + shipping for the clearpath asu-fr510 A/D board , or a shielded digital chunk of wire (PWM signal from Acorn DB25 ?
A job worth doing “right", is!
