    Re: 3D probing to create point cloud.

    I was able to get this working on my machine. Thanks everyone who helped put this together. I was thinking I would need to setup Mach3 to probe. Much relief!.

  2. Re: Green and yellow part while using slic3r to generate Gcode

    It looks like a brim or skirt is tuned on in your slic3r settings. Go to skirt and brim and enter zero for loops and zero the brim settings.

    Re: Unclear information for Kflop

    If all you need is step/dir outputs, then all you need is the Kflop. If your spindle is +-10v then you could add the kanalog or even the Kstep. I have read that a some users are using a 3rd party...

  5. Re: KFlop how to configure spindle as Step and Dir No output for DIR

    OK,

    I figured out the CW and CCW outputs not being setup as outputs during init. I had them at the bottom of my init.c program.

    But I still need help with the spindle spin up delay.

    Hi Tom,

    Thanks for your response.

  8. KFlop how to configure spindle as Step and Dir No output for DIR

    I'm working on converting my Mach 3 controlled 4 axis mill (XYZA). It has a Break out board which takes Step/Dir signals for the spindle and outputs 10V and on/off signal to control the VFD.

    Thanks Burrman,

    I will give that a try, but doesn't it seem like it should be able to do the sweep with any geometry? Why only a rectangle?
