Hi guys,

Just an update to say im still alive and have not given up, ive finally moved into my house fully a few days ago, and managed to do some work on the cnc. One of the home sensors was faulty so i swapped that out and its running a basic g code file (although not cutting anything yet) fine. In the file i have though it starts with a tool change request, but the spindle carry on running. Is this because i need to code the macro for the M command?
It homes and has softlimits so it does not hit the stop no matter what prox switches, the estop circuit works as planned.

Ive got to plumb up the pump for the spindle coolent, the touch probe, front estop button and the mist coolant and we should be done.... Although ive started drawing up my 4th axis that will use a harmonic drive.
Other than the list above, i guess i need to learn to use it now, but on question is how do i know if ive got the motor tuning right is there any guide or advice?




Kind Regards

Trev
