Today I put all the dip switches back-to-front and it goes nice and fast :)
Another question though - how do I grease a ballnut?! I got mine from LinearMotion on eBay and I don't think they have any grease as it is. I know I need to put some in that nipple, but since grease is not a liquid, how can I get it in there? Do I need some form of syringe? EDIT: Ahh okay I should have searched for ballnut rather than ballscrew lubrication. I see Jonathan and Jazz use oil. Do you think 75W80 gear-box oil is okay?
Also, my motors get very hot. Does the 'half current SW4' dip switch relate to the automatic reduction of current if the system doesn't do anything for a while? Should I just ignore them getting hot, or what?
Thank you!Last edited by Tenson; 29-09-2012 at 03:50 PM.
