Stepper motor stall warning? Also EMC issues.

Unread post by Cherry »

I've heard some complaints about stepper motors (https://www.oyostepper.es/) skipping steps... is there something like a stepper sensor that can be put on the motor to confirm that it is actually responding to the steps applied? The ultimate goal is to give a warning if the motor fails to turn a specified amount, and then the user can decide whether to continue or reset everything.

I'm thinking of buying a small CNC machine, and I'm leaning towards machines that can use EMC. Not sure which machines (Tormach 1100 or smaller) can handle this, it seems like many of them are captive to some proprietary software. Are there any downsides to using EMC?
where there is a will,there is a way.
