Ok sorry, i was unaware of the crypto chip change in the SE.
the DC motor closed loop control software is what i had in mind, i just wanted to show you the finished project to show that someone used it on a similar project.
I have some experience with the YAPSC:10V, the standalone version to convert step/dir interface to the +-10V logic that industrial AC servo drives use. But i couldn´t get it to work. So i have 3 boards sitting here collecting dust.
The original creator of the YAPSC is also no longer active, and no one is using it so it is a dead project.
If cost isn´t that big of a concern, i would use an ODrive control board since that project is still alive and you can get support. It is a pretty good application for that case since you have an existing servo that you want to retrofit.

You would just need the 119€ control board, the servo already has the encoder.
For standalone applications i think that is a pretty bad deal since you also need the motor and encoder, and there are way better options for that which are plug & play ( for example the JMC)
You just need to check the voltage the motor runs at. I remember diffusely that the two motors in my 768 BST run at 110V, but i could be wrong. The wires are pretty thin tho.
