torque application and encoder position read with 1HCL?
-
A while back I was looking at the GCODE documentation, and came across M569.4 and M569.3 for applying torque and measuring encoder position. Previously these command descriptions did not mention ODrives or secondary CAN bus, and I assumed that they were for the 1HCL. Now that they have been fully documented I'm wondering if there is any possibility for these two functionalities on the 1HCL.
I have three possible use cases for the M569.4:- Applying configurable downward force on a plotter type machine (instead of spring/gravity pressure). Also could be used for embossing/gouging in a cnc application.
- Keeping a piece of paper tight between two roller grip systems while treating the paper movement like a normal linear axis.
- (Similar to the above) Backlash/wear mitigation with dual pinions & motors on rack and pinion drives (CNC application).
And two cases for M569.3:
- Reading and saving the precise location of axes with electromagnetic brakes prior to machine shutdown, and being able to resume the job without homing upon startup by using G92.
- Synchronization with inkjet devices.
Thanks,

@tristanryerparke we plan to implement torque mode experimentally on the EXP1HCL in the near future.
