Hi,
I succeeded to advance a bit on the router build.

There were some problems with the SmoothStepper interface, it seems that the "EMF sponge" name I found on the internet is very appropriate. I had fo install ferrite rings on all the stepper drivers' power supply cables before making it stable.

Finally, the router is working fine on all 4 axes, and the homing and squaring procedure is working fantastic on the X + C (slave) axis.

I still have to finish the ATC magazine with tool height sensor, the dust extraction system and the 4th axis callibration.

Right now the ATC (Usovo/Sorotec) is working great, but there is nothing done yet on the callibration of the magazine and the tool height sensor.

The ATC magazine is still on the design table :). The 4th axis is working great, but I didn't fix it and there are tests to be done. The dust extraction is designed, but not done yet.

Unfortunatelly, I can work again to this project next month only :(.

You can se below a short video with a wood carving test, in beech. The model is one of the free models from http://www.vectorart3d.com/store/?fuseaction=freemodels.



All the best,
Florin
