Over the past 2 years I have working with Jon Elson as my consutant
on my CNC mill. I had started a lighting manufacturing bussiness and
had no clue about CNC machines other than I needed one and with only
1 employee (myself)I had no experience in machining. Jon helped me
convert over to Linux and started with working with EMC. Everything
has been working fairly well and had a few problems with accuracy
and everytime I needed to hand crank the machine I had to power down
the system.
Last night Jon and I installed his new Gecko interface board. WOW
what a difference! I never loose position when the Geckos fault and
with I hit the estop button, I is a true DRO in manual mode. The
servos seem to be running much better and I have not lost position
all day.
My hats off to a real genius. Thanks Jon, You have made my job so
much easier.
