    Re: SC 15 now available

    Got over the hump getting used to the new interface and I have to say I’m really liking it. Launched a session of V10 and it’s comical how clunky it was compared to 16

    It may be possible but Ive always heard it’s best to keep it strictly a machine controller. Are you looking to print screen shots of the control or g code text files?

    Re: best design for anti backlash rotary stage?

    Strain wave gear drive is what I would suggest. They are fairly expensive but you can find used ones on eBay etc. for reasonable cost. I believe Harmonic is one of the major brand names.
