Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] step lost indicator

Hello Colin

When I converted my mill to CNC, I retained the feedscrew dials for just
this purpose, It gives an insant check that all axis have returned to 0,0,0
at the end of a program, and is very handy when setting up new software or
motors and checking for lost steps, unfortunately this is pretty useless in
mid program.

Regards
Peter Smith
