Hi Folks, I have been looking for some dimensioned drawings or cad files for the Pittman servomotor 8224D309 that Dan sells, but can't find anything on the web. I could trace in cad from a photo, but

Hi Tim, Well, first you have to understand the difference between a computer program and a computer language and computer standards. For instance try searching the web for Indi - you won't find much

Hi all: I installed a sitech controller on a Takahashi EM-500 more than 10 years ago. I configured it in Servoconfig back then with an old Mac Powerbook G4 running Windows XP via VirtualPC. I used
