Hi, The jog handle dampener I made was designed for the Sherline, with it's 1/4 inch lead screws. The dampener was able to remove most of the resonance on a...

Hi, The rubber I used provides a litle springiness to the washer stack (the eurathane is quite rubbery). This keeps the washers from "jangling" around. If...
... I noticed. Given the description of your 'rubber', I suspect this stuff is way too firm/hard then. Yours sounds more along the lines of tire inner tubes...
Hi, Yep, still. The urethane is "really" rubbery. Much more so than inner tube. It's hard to cut it squishes so much. Inner tube is worth a try of you have...

Hi, Yes, isn't it great :-) That is basically an X3 machine. People have coverted X3 machines using Xylotex drives and motors, but as it does have a large...
Hi all Firstly many thanks for the great resource this group offers, It has helped me no end. I have the 4 Axis Driver Board and am trying to figure out how to...
... What sort of current and voltage does the input of the dispensing valve driver expect? ... These auxiliary outputs come directly from your computer...
Hi Dave Many Thanks for your great reply. The documentation only refers to the following: The valve driver module converts a TTL control signal into a spike...
... That's odd. If the driver input is supposed to be 5 V TTL compatible, it should just work when connected to the parallel port output. To check the input...
Hi, In your diagram, it appears as though you have placed a sip resistor on the drive board. Why did you do that? Pin 1 of that set of holes is not +5V....
Hi, I tried to e-mail the emcc users list, but it never got through, so I'll start here: Does anyone know if macros have been written in to EMC2 code, and if...

Hi, No, I don't think so. If macros were included in the g-code capabilites, it would have descriptions of the g-code language. The connection between the...
Hi Gene, Yes, I know it's EMC (with one C, that was a typo). I'm not specifically looking for subroutine capabilites. What I'm look for is the capability to...
