I guess that's was me,I have't have much time to play with,but it
looks good,I'm getting about 70ipms on all 3 axis at the same time
using 5tpi ballscrews, camtronics 2amps controller,30v P.S and a
pent.166 note that it won't do helical interpolation(I just found out)
only linear interpolation on all 3 axis :-( ,but it will do 2 axis
circular interpolation fine.
As allways there is some bugs,it won't take "-" machine coordinates
when setting up g54-g59 or g92.if one input let's say -.2" it changes
it back to a +.2" by itself.This makes it impossible to set the
machine "0" where you want.If one is using it to controll a gantry
type machine it should be all right,but if it's for a regular milling
machine than you'll have to live with only + movements from
machine "0".
I'll email Carl this weekend to find out what can be done,maybe I'm
doing something wrong.It looks like if g54-g59 and g92 accepts "-"
movements it will be allright.
Everything else works just fine.
One more thing,jogging axis by using the mouse is a pain..., if he
can use keyboard keys like desknc for dos it would be just perfect.
