Re: spindle counterweights

I have thought about this. The one problem that I have is that I
am using camsoft's package with the galil card. It sets up the
galil card on startup and it may overwrite those settings.
Also, what does the Galil card do if you set the X,Y and Z
acceleration and deceleration settings differently? When you do
a move in x,y and z does it just set the acceleration in all three to
be the lowest of the 3?

Also, when the machine is moving in one direction and changes
direction it tries to change direction as fast as it can. It doesn't
seem to decelerate and accelerate. I was thinking of processing
the G-Code beforehand to look at the acceleration vectors and
make it decel to a stop before the next move.

I'm not overly happy with the camsoft setup. I like the galil card
but the software seems to have quite a few bugs and is not as
smart as I would like.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will have to think about my
problem some more.
