    Yep the DDCS lets you configure the step size per MPG tick for each of the three speeds on the MPG but I haven't configured it yet, so it is defaulted to 4 microns or something ridiculous. Sounds rough on the lowest setting as it is below the precision of the machine.

    Still got to rig up the home switches and solder all the cable shields on, then I can tune the config. Also need to dig out my old VFD and see it it still works, it may have been exposed to the elements.

    Then cut the plate for the bed and get the machine to drill itself....

    Before going much further I will run some complex toolpaths in the air so see if the DDCS is any good, I have no reason to believe that it isn't but want to know sooner rather than later if I need to switch to a PC, hopefully it will be fine.
