« on: October 30, 2009, 04:10:15 AM »

Is their anyway of slaving 16 stepper motors(yes 16 its not a typo). I am in the early stages of designing something similar to a multi rip saw for putting V grooves in internal doors.

I have been using my machine with slaved X axis for 2 years with no problem.

I am now running Mach3 3.041. My machine works fine and doesnt lose steps at any speed range. Untill I home or verify then one motor is definately faster than the other. Any ideas would be appreciated?

Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / Video Mouse Move Problem?

« on: March 20, 2008, 09:55:39 PM »

I have successfully installed a webcam to my machine.

My problem is when using the Mouse move function the machine moves correct in the Y  axis direction but the opposite to what it should for the X axis. I have tried flipping the image and rotating the camera but to no avail. I am wondering if it has to with reversing my Z axis in the Config Homng /Limits. 

The other problem is the 'Show positon' and 'Mouse Position' are not legible when enabled.

Cheers

Liam
