Thanks Andy. I think I understand what you are saying, I am open to use any control system that is recommended to me, the reason I initially...

Looks like you've removed the fuse from the spindle AC input, and there is no separate fuse to the 24V PSU? This means that the fuse in your mains...

This was definitely an older pancake motor, and not a modern hybrid stepper like your link. I can't remember the exact drive I ended up using, but...

Does it look like this one: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/1jgAAOSwzaJX3E6j/s-l1600.webp ? That looks like a standard hybrid stepper to me with...

Ray, I wasn't trying to patronise you, until you know how it really isn't obvious! As Muzzer said, you need to be in "full fat" advanced mode rather...

Hi. I use a laptop, it may be obvious to you but not to everybody, or I would not have made this request for help and guidance. Regards. Ray

Are you viewing it on a phone or tablet? If you use a PC I think the options are obvious.

I can help you with this. I don't specifically machine sprockets, but motorcycle engineering was a big part of my business in the 90s and early 2000s...

Many Thanks m_c, . Please slow down a bit, I really appreciate all your help, but you are forgetting I said I was above a beginner in electrics,...
