Thanks Andy, So I have to replace the drivers with the ones from Pica or Mesa. Do I still need the encoder converter electronics?
Yes, I can see they "only" have 2.2KW, I would need ~3KW. I do not blan to lift heavy parts. In fact I want to use the robot as a 5-axis mill and cut in wood. So I guess this would not be a problem. Then would be for now to buy the pico drivers and encoder converter plus the mesa controller/daughter card for now. Keep the original driver until Mesa shows up with the right controller and then switch back. Sounds like a plan? witch controller/daughtercard do i need now?
