Anyone seen this: ODrive?
https://hackaday.io/project/11583-odrive-high-performance-motor-control
Looks pretty interesting for the smoothieboard. The developer says it would be possible to get the ODrive to work with the smoothieboard, but it would require some fiddling.
Yep, it’s nothing special really, the hard part is going to do the firmware right, and on pro servo controllers, that’s insanely complex. Not the first project to attempt it, and I don’t know of a single one that succeeded.
What a shame. It looks kind of pretty, and the idea of getting so much power and precision out of relatively cheap motors makes it so tempting. Well, you never know. Maybe this guy is insane enough to pull it off.
Yep, wait and see
