Nema17 Encoders
-
I know Duet is working on encoder motor add on options is there an update on this?
I have several machines running duet mini 5+ and 6HC controller boards with a mix of nema17 and nema23 motors. All the nema24 I use are all closed loop, either clearpath or the cheapo 'servos' with external drivers and they all work very well. They all stay quiet and cool.
Now Im looking to update my 3d printer motors to closed loop. They're all nema17 due to size/mech constraints. I already have x2 unused Duet 1HCL's that I never put into action and boxes of unused nema17's. I'd like to try the HCL's Im having difficulty figuring out best encoder option to try and adapt to. Any ideas?

@wayneosdias if you already have closed loop motors with drivers that are running well then check out the Duet 3 6XD controller.
If you have existing motors and 1HCLs then a magnetic encoder based board to mount on the back of a Nema17 will be documented and released in around a month.
