Hi Thomas; Just built my first 3 axis mill and used the xylotec driver board. Seems to work great and runs all 3 steppers. Easy to wire up as well. This...
I built Dave's Encoder trigger design, replacing the LED and Photodetector with a single unit sensor (TTST2002). It seems to work, with the voltage rising from...
I've been experimenting with Turbo CNC, using it to drive a Xylotex board. The setup seems to work just fine, except that when I set the backlash comp to zero...
Tony: Sounds like a bug - I recall that there were some issues with the ini file reading library and routines for that release. Try a manual edit of the ini...

I came across a problem with TCNC 3.1a with nested comments, such as: (use #53 drill (or close)) or: ;use #53 drill (or close) In my case, this caused strange...
Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the turbocnc group: how would people like a complete encoder for turbocnc threading for say $30.00 o...

Well, I've voted an emphatic YES. Now where do I buy it? <GR> Iain...
... I voted No, because I just built one. Also living in Europe, a $30 encoder would likely cost $60 by the time customs and exise work their evil way. It cost...
Hi all, I am not sure if anyone can help me but here goes, I have a Mill that I have just finished retrofitting. It has 3 servo motors driven by a Galil ( ...
If you sold it for $25.00USD, I'd buy it, cause then it would slide under Canadian customs. :) Or would you mind saying it's a gift? :) Or just declaring it...
sorry at $30 plus shipping still cheap but after i sell the first 3 the price will go upto $35 because the parts i use are more now just checked prices today...

For those of you thinking about adding a once/rev encoder output signal onto your spindle (used for threading in lathe applications), you can also feed the...
... I can offer a couple of ideas - First, if it came from the trash can, there probably was a reason. Compumotor's products cost around $2500 per axis for a...

I am interested in the closed loop type of setup. I have built the interface unit for the DRO encoders to the PC and it works fine. I hope to find time to...
Hi Guys, somehow I missed the poll. As far as I know, there are few units floating around. Dave's circuit, Doug's kit, and the 'new' one for the poll. The...
Dave, Unfortunately, it doesn't. As Doug's main customers are south of the border, his pricing is in USD. Understandable, but for us up here, it means his...
