    Did you try an old program that worked fine before? Is it now stuttering?

    Got everything wired and connected and had first movement last night (sorry, no video). Had to revert to the SmoothStepper and Mach3 since UCCNC does support Lathes (yet?).

    How do I get Ease-e Turn?

    I have PM'd on several boards and emailed to Newfangled Solutions - no response. What is the best way to get ahold of Ease-e Turn?

    X-axis done for now. Ballscrew is too short so I have ordered a 50 mm longer one, due in July 25. Also mounted a monitor to the table I bought for the setup, still need to bolt the lathe down.

    What's the difference?

    Please refer to the 2 XML files attached, they are for MACH3 using a USS. Both are XML files renamed to TXT so I could upload them.

    The one titled "Mikini USS Working 05APR23" is working fine.

    Re: Mach4 - Where are pins 0 and 18?

    Well, I had copied the XML over, but when I take a photo of the old machine it is different, so I guess the XML somehow didn't copy right. No 0 or 18 on the actual machine.

    In my Mach3 setup, I use Port 1 pins 0 and 18. But these are not options in the ESS Setup for Mach4. How do I assign these pins?

    Re: Index pulse on Mach3

    That's a good point.

    I am not using a "breakout board" per se. The Mikini has something built in, but it doesn't interface to an encoder. I have the encoder wired to an Arduino, and am...

    Re: Index pulse on Mach3

    This is just for spindle speed, so the accuracy of the "position" doesn't matter (Mach3 can't do rigid tapping is my understanding). I'll try extending the pulse tonight. I didn't realize at 5000...
