differential output hardware

[Battwell]

is there any plan for break out boards with differential output to step signals.
to make use of the higher kernel frequency?
the servos i use are limited to 200khz single sided but 500khz with differential input.

at the moment i have to limit the kernal to 200khz for the servo machines and 100khz on the stepper machines.

i can use electronic gearing in the servos to hit my target high rapid speeds which is my work around for the moment.
my new machine range rapids at 80m/minute.

failing that.. was the ethercat servo control code ever finalised ?

Yes, we designing not a breakout board, but a motherboard for the UC300ETH module which motherboard will have differential step/dir outputs.
The product is on the design table yet, so it will sure take several months for us to finish and make it ready for production.

And we have a differential line driver module, this: https://cncdrive.com/Difflinedriver.html

Thanks
& the ethercat. Was that ever completed?

[cncdrive]

EtherCAT is in prototype stage only yet unfortunately.
We had too many other things to work on that it gone to the backburner for some time, but soon we will continue it's development.
there are still a few other projects to finish before it though.

sounds like me
need 5 liftetimes just to finish what we want to complete
