[596] With servomotor encoders connected to Pokey57, will Mach4 DRO update when motors are turned manually?

The closed-loop function of motors and drivers (either servo or stepper) is confined between the motor and the driver. If the motor did not achieve the number of encoder pulses, the driver will attempt to spin the motor until the commanded pulses are achieved. Drivers for servos and steppers for CNC machines have an alarm terminal to inform the pokeys57cnc in case of a condition that the driver is not able to achieve the commanded pulses over a specified time. If you wish to turn a motor by hand for each axis, you can use an MPG (manual pulse generator) for each axis which will update the position of the axis. You can implement this on a pokeys57CNC controller.
