I'm working on a project that includes programming ESP Motion
Controller.ESP300 has two remote interfaces : RS-232C and IEEE488.
I was wondering if anyone has experience with that and tell me which
interface should I use.
Is it better to programm it in LabVIEW or in C++?
Thank you!

What are you doing with it? Are you controlling
the motors actively from your computer, or just preloading
canned sequences into the ESP300?

I don't know what lab view is but I'v used C++

Hi,

I want to controll the motor from my computer.I want to position a
stage to given X-Y coordinates.
If I use IEEE488 interface how can I connect it to the PC?National
Instruments have a big palette of GPIB adapters and cards and I was
wondering if you can recommend which one should I use.
Thank you

Hi,

I connected ESP300 Motion Controller through RS232 interface to
PC.Motion controller is connected to X-Y moving stage.For the start I
want to be able to controll the movement across X and Y axes from the
PC.I was wondering if it is possible for someone to send me C++ code
examples for ESP300 and help me get started.Thank you!
