Ok guys i have been using picstep for 3 years now and i have been really happy. Suddenly i wanted to change my micro stepping on the Z drive to get better performance. There is a bug and i have...

Sorry its been so long since i last posted ;-) To busy cutting things out. I had a job for a school. Knowing that sometimes i would loose my Zero Setting due to interference. It was only caused while...

Lovely work makes me feel like i got a long way to go. :-)

Thanks for all the files ;-) Got my probe up and running and works like a DREAM. Got enough spares to make 3 probes after all the mistakes i made lol but still cost me less than 1 $ thats the...

Got the dxf thanks to all here goes will post as soon as im done ;-)

Ok reg on site is through and download the cad files Thanks for that. Has anyone got the g code files to make the probe? Im still finding my way round cad programs and cant produce the 3d g code...

Been a few months now and i have had absolutley no problems with the picstep baords. 2nd best to comercial controlers. If anyone is starting out with cnc dont waste your time with any other boards. I...

Seems there is a small problem @ www.cognitiveinnovations.com reg & rec an email but no acctivation link ;-(

Thanks for the post! with a digital meter even if thats fast enough could i measure the current while running the any of the motors ? or should i wait till i load the machine with a cut out then...

Hiya all eventually got a couple of LMD18245T for a good price i think ZAR 190.00 and plenty more to come lol Built 4 of the infamous picstep boards ;-) bows down to Alan the problem i have is im...

Problems 1st place to come is cnczone lol Have 3amp 60volt stepper running off Alans picstep the problem its sounds and feel rough while running tried both hex files (no time out & time out) tried...

Think Alan needs a donation from all that use his board. Just a thought :) Been playing around with speed torque etc the whole weekend using FL86ST134 motor 5.6 amp motor and it runs like magic. On...

Hiya all just finished my picstep board working champion ;-)) Thank you Alan !!! 1 question i have a 16K used as the current limit no matter what i do to the motor it wont run above 600ma was...

Hiya All after building 2 proto boards and still not happy managed to get 2 LMD 's Please i need a recomendation as to pcb layout as im using my hp for toner transfer had ok results but double sided...

For those that are gonna build proto boards dont waste your time on the single L298 driver !!!! the double L6203 performs much better less heat and constant current no matter the load. L298 gets...

Thanks for the reply only reason im asking is the LMD is very hard to get here. So looking for a good alternative tried l297 & l6203 but wasnt happy with the current hissing on the feed back to the...

hi all Anyone have a link to circuit using L297 with 2 L6203 outputs with filter back to the ref voltage or gated back to the ref ? thanks

Thanks all for the input as for the chamfer it causes to much fine board dust its ok on white board but black will take me as long to clean than to cut by hand ;-) The comercial cnc can only really...

Hi all 2 weeks into building a matt board cutter for my framing bussiness. The route im taking is normal x-y with a rotating z drive to control the cut head with a solenoid to pull the blade into the...

2 weeks of looking for a driver board @ 3amps & 40-55 volts and no closer to building the 1 i need anyone recomend a board that i can build with micro stepping pic programing no problem ;-) will...
