Re: Anyone using Zaber motion controllers?

ZaberTech provides a well-developed EPICS driver themselves: zabertech/motorZaberMotion, which I've used successfully in the past.

I see they do include a compiled library that you need to link to. Although they also have the source code available here: https://gitlab.com/ZaberTech/zaber-motion-lib

That is the library written in Go with wrappers for different languages that I was referring to.

(Needs a recent version of Golang - way newer than what's available on our systems, of course.)

I'm hesitating because introducing a new programming language into the ITER controls design is a major effort, and I wouldn't want to start that for a single motor in a single one of our ~170 systems...
