    Just putting the other related in and looking at the wiring....ive underestimated the number of 24v connections I need...having to put some more on the DIN rail now.....



    Just put the Z axis front back on to see where the limit points are to be...

    Running out of room!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just managed to squeeze in a timer relay for cutting the power to the spindle (after the stop signal has been sent to the VFD!!) in the case if an E-stop.

    Hope there's nothing else I need to fit in!!!

    Sounds very sweet too! Given that you are also running at around 70V it must be down to the digital AM882 stepper drivers ? - mine are DQ860MA on 1600 microsteps but still have a hint of roughness when running.

    Bit worried about your 5 minute e-stop trip problem - something getting warm?

    Cheers!! I'm not too sure what it is, could be I have the Nema34 drive configured wrong, could be an earth problem, could be my E-stop circuit....I'll try isolating one thing at a time tomorrow and see :)
