All I can say is you have lucky students.

Nice screenset in Mach by the way :)

More importantly my lathe mate was coming up with his bit of...

Great to see you back on the scene Bob.

Andy,

The BTA06 are 6A devices and should be more than adequate for that little spindle you have.

Like Mr Beans, It's a stiffy too :banana:

Hey Bulls some pretty nifty work there.

Looks like you made a cracking job there Terry.

Who knows, we may get our mini pcb mills built in 2007 !

Looking forward to seeing your anti-backlash ideas on the nuts.

My eyes must be deceiving me :)

Are you finally getting your ass into gear and making the nuts for the screws and bearings I donated to you back in July !

Oh yes I remember the...

Weird.....

I am using V2 (Autoshutdown code version) and can confirm that jumpers do work, and change modes.

Strange...

daedalus,

You won't go wrong with the ICD2. I have recently been playing with one also at work. I still need to learn more on the integration of it with the mplab suite in debugging mode but...

Hi,

A year or so ago I went through the same problem being in the U.K It really is annoying when you see the price differences.

Farnell was my source for the LMD's, not cheap and I think they...

Totally awesome board result.

Interesting find on the jumper settings. I haven't had chance to investigate this yet but will be interested to see what Alan finds.

Great work.

Entertaining thread :)

Just wanted to say, updated to latest Picstep software and it's running fine.

Thanks for the quick turnaround Alan.

To be honest I never noticed any problems with the...

Lathe files have been updated to include the MPG screen which we missed from original set.

You will need to download the installers again if you want the new set.

Finally after a short delay the Silver Blue Screenset for Mach3Turn is ready for test.

There has been no attempt to add extra functions to these screens. They have been done purely by...

Joe,

Thanks for the feedback. We are pleased you like it. How about a Custom one specific to Joe2000 built machines ;)

Which actually reminds me I really did want to build one of those...

The installer will automatically create the folder and files if the correct Mach3...

Andy,

No problems I can think of. Done a few more tacky signs, used the text function etc and all well.

I do have one request. Everytime I use it the 'terminolgy' for the Z settings confuses...

Scott,

I have tried a few different combinations of Motors with the "High-Torque" firmware and have yet to see any movement. I'm not sure if anyone has ?

I can say the standard firmware 20Mhz...

Well the weekend is here and I can finally sit back and chill.....

Andy a few days ago I ended up in the dog house with the wife... In an attempt to grovel my way back in the good books I used...

Switcher,

I love the sound of this concept. In fact I had similar thoughts a couple of weeks ago when something I requiring cutting required a dxf to be generated and then G-Code from this.

Hi,

This is something I do in Catia often.

1. Open the .dwg or .dxf with Catia, it should open in the drafting workbench
2. Drag a box around the profile you want and do edit / copy
3. Go...

Maybe I should start a CAM-BAM! fanclub .......

My friend gave me a few offcuts of some Solid Oak flooring he had fitted. It must be worth a fortune.... (Well in the UK anyway).

It's 20mm thick...

'Primitive' was probably the wrong expression (chair)
