Hi, Yes I do have some other inputs that could be used for focus but I'm more of a welder thana solderer and you will see in the photos that the switch is a SMD type and I might end up being a bit...

Solved !!!!!
Well, I took the plunge and hooked up the pin marked PWM/TTL - to the CNC V3 board gnd and the pin marked PWM/TTL + to the spindle enable pin. I was aware that this had been remapped...
If it is of any help, I have measured voltage across the upper socket witha digital meter and I can read 2.538v when it is powered up. I have also checked the singel wire from the lower socket and it...

Hi,
I'm looking for some guidance on connecting a 15W laser controller to achieve PWM / TTL control.
In the attached phot it can be seen that the board, apparently, supports modulated...
Yep, you deserve some riding time and enjoying the great outdoors - you spend far too much time helping us out with our problems. But as soon as you've had enough fresh air and sunshine I'll be...
Hi Hoss, (and other folks),
Just got finished reading this entire thread ! Wow, that was some barrel full of information to take in. I'm shortly going back to my beloved workshop in the UK and I...
Hi Hoss,
Thanks for the vote of confidence. Yes, I intend to follow your principle of a floating design - in fact it will be almost exactly the same with a the multi stack air cylinder replaced...
Hey, so I'm not the only lunatic on this forum;-)
You had me there for a while - I thought that an EZGO was some form of US super car - then I realised what you meant. You're not supposed to mess...
Just in case the previous post was not as clear as it might be, I thought I'd post some pics of the components for my proposed air over hydraulic system for a power draw bar. After submitting the...
Hi Hoss,
After my recent post to this thread regarding the button codes for probing, I realised how much other stuff there was here and started reading. You'll forgive me for not getting all the...
Thank you for the kind words. It took a bit of head scratching and a lot of time - much more than I had imagined - but I'm happy with the results. Please bear in mind though, I would not even have...
Hoss, just me again.
Thought you might like a couple more pics of the panel. It contains the power supplies, X, Y and A drivers (Z is adjacent to the motor), BoB (PMDX 122), Motion controller...
Many thanks Hoss, that will help me out perfectly. Thanks also for the compliment on the control panel - not perfect but I'm happy with it.

Hi Hoss,
Don't know if you got my email a while back about the button codes for your metric probing screen set. I appreciate your a busy man but you seem to be active here so I thought I'd pose my...
Many thanks, AnLe. You have been a great help. Hopefully I can now order the same item for my own RF45 clone.

Hi AnLe,
I have sent you a pm. I would be grateful if you could read and respond if possible.

Thanks GH - I'll give it a go.
Hi Anle,
I will be looking for an ISO 30 spindle for my RF45 shortly. I got onto the German web site but I was unable to find the page where the spindles were being offered. Unfortunately I don't...
Hi,
I've come across an old thread which deals with pin settings for getting a StepFour SFC-2 controller to operated under Mach 3
I have recently connected my StepFour Basic 540 to a Mach 3...
Hi,
I've just come across this old thread which deals with the same issue that I have. Hopefully someone will pick up on this and may have an answer or send me in the right direction.
I have...
Not got an answer for this one but I can confrim that the PC8 parallel adapter for the Shuttle is a quick and cheap way to get an LPT port. The Shuttle mother poard has a parallel port header fitted...
Try the "modular" approach.
Get large case of beer from supermarket, borrow nylon lifting strops from local crane company, go to your local gym and get four strong guys who like beer and this...
I've just completed reading the thread over the last couple of days and it has been quite inspirational.
Amongst other current projects, I am looking at converting a Myford ML 7 to CNC. Some time...
Thanks again for your comments.
I'm doing some serious web surfing at the moment and beginning to understand some of the issues regarding laser cutters. Previous CNC machine builds have been more...
Hi Zax,
Thanks for the feedback. I think I'm with you most of the way although you've got me when you talk about solid state diodes etc! How do these differ from what I have on the Epilog?
My...
Hi Guys,
I'm not new to the zone as I've built a couple of 3 axis routers previously but I've never played with lasers before.
I recently bought a fire damaged Epilog laser cutter with a 30w...
Don't stop posting yet!
I had some binding issues with Igus twin rails and went back to supported round rail with open linear bearings. I think that the binding might have been overcome using the...
Hi Kammo1,
Step Four are an Austrian company that make CNC equipment for hobbyists, light industry and education.
I have a Step Four foam wing cutting package and a Step Four Basic 540 milling...
Hi again,
Just figured out how to "PDF" some cad files so I'll post a couple of these to give an idea of how the design evolved.
The Gantryplt file shows how a pocket was formed to accept the...
Gents, thanks for the kind words - it certainly makes it all worth while.
In response to a couple of the points that you have brought up:-
I went to the Vetric site and spent some time looking...
