dspMC/IP Motion Controller / Re: Lagun knee mill with scales build using DSPMC

Thanks for the response mrprecise44. Glad to hear a relatively long lasting success with this controller.
For the Tach question, I have no reason to omit these signals to the drives, I was just wondering if the DSPMC or Mach was looking for this as well.
I still am not sure if my scales ( anilam A-10 ) have this reference mark or not, I guess I'll just have to wait till its all hooked up and see.
On the Reference switches...Does the machine actually need to move to a home or a limit or a index pulse to be able to zero an axis? I never need to know this position as all my work is either a one-off or I locate off a fixed edge. I really hope I can just power things up and zero all the axis when I dial in my 0,0.
For tuning your motors, did you leave them coupled to the screws or remove them? In tuning things in the past it makes a lot of difference if the load changes much, at least from what I have seen.
Thanks again.
