Yes If you know how to speak Modbus and the Modbus is implemented correctly at both ends. I agree if more advanced speed control and monitoring is required then Modbus is great tool and not rocket...

You wish :hysterical: If you are planning a commercial venture we do it in public :encouragement:

Insight: You have to make several machines before you understand what the problems are. Nobody...

HI,

After being looking at various controllers at the end i decided to test some of the offline ones. Started with one of the cheap ones. As you can imagine it would be great to forget about...

Thank you both. It seems there was a break in one wire to one of the switches. So as suggested I daisy-chained both z axis switches together. I think I had developed brain ache by then though as I...

The accuracy of the UT-801 for my purposes is adequate. The €10 meters are OK for checking continuity. Voltage, resistance and current within 5% is OK if you know the limitations.
My UT-801 will sit...

Do I really Need to Say anything.?? . . . . I think Not.:hopelessness:

Close call really to me.? He'll need to spend £30-40 on fuel there and back to wales with no guarantee something won't be dead anyway. He'll still have drives that only Half step and a rats nest of...

Was away last night so couldn't reply.

Mark we all know you don't like me and thats fine by me. . . .! But the remark you mention had no bad or dismissive meaning. It simply stated I wouldn't...

No you probably miss under stood.? I said "master rail reference edge" meaning the edge which the master rail butt's against be perfectly straight.

I've read the Hi-win document before and like...

Ok but even this is not quite correct.? They are very different in how they made and meant to be used.

Obviously unsupported are just straight bar with no support other than the ends so will flex...

Sorry Jonathan that's Rubbish total utter rubbish they don't compare in any way.!

Just the fact the bearing blocks are ground flat and true on profile bearings makes a massive difference. Bearing...

There are so meny variables when building a machine to it's accurecy. All this talk of unsupported or supported, profiled etc is a bit lost and pointless on 95% of DIY builds because of other areas...

I have one of these boards and can confirm that the motors are not powered up if it's not connected to a computer. A circuit diagram of the board can be found...

Right pin 16 and 17 is for adding another axis (4th axis via separate board) and if i remember rightly from my old version the board was software enabled (could be wrong) so you will not get anything...

Yep I'll cut them for ya but when do you want them for.?

Hi Ian,

The corner marking is chatter probably due to radius being the same size as cutter, if you can make your radius just slightly larger than the cutter this won't happen.

Nice job as well...

Hi
Just spotted Aluminium Warehouse have a new web site and they now do Ali plate in large thinkness and grades. . . Even do fixture plate.!!:toot:

Ye I get the picture but I already did.!

To me it seems your not accounting enough for the fixed screw bearing mount and how it will mate with your proposed motor mounts, this will be the main...

Don't think you'll need as much room inside the box section as you think because you only really need say approx 10-12mm more than the length of the coupling because the shafts of both motor and...

Yep close enough I used to date a bird from Huddersfield. . Lol

It maybe easier retro fitting so it could be used with Mach3.? It would mean drawing and generating G-code in external software but you would have far more support and flexabilty.
