I just moved my Gecko based CNC Sherline mill from the spare room out into the shop, and now nothing works right. At first I hooked it up to a brand new...
Raymond, Are they steppers or servos? If servos, check your encoder connector. No encoder feedback will make it take off. If steppers, check your step /...
Thanks Mariss, I'm using your G201's, and all the lines are no more crossed than they have ever been when they worked. In fact, on the new control, I thought ...
Raymond, I re-read your original post. Seeing as how your drives are steppers, the "go like a bat out of hell" says your problem may be with the PC. Something...
Morning all! Is there some way in the program of cncpro where the A axis(4th or rotary table) recognizes that 360 degrees is 0 degrees or in other words...
Hello Mark, there is a solution for your problem, at the end of your program you can use G92 . Use it like this : g01x10y15z0a360 g92a0 (this will set a to...

Hello Roger, if you don't use to many pulses per inch or mm you don't need a very fast computer. I'm using a very strange configuration but that just shows how...
Roger, A PII or PIII at 400 or better. Anything over about 333MH should be fine. There are a lot of good used systems on the market for about $150. If you plan...
