As always, a nice job Sam.

You could, of course, go the whole hog and put poker dots on the other 4 sides. Now that would make it  look pretty.

Hi Sam,

Sorry that the version I am using still causes the same problem. Looks like you have a bit more experimentation to do before you find the solution.

btw. At your suggestion I went and had a beer (or two) anyway.

Not good news Pop.

Although Mach supports Rotational interpolation it was primarily designed for linear movement control so I think you will be struggling with this project.
Once you have stepper control of the arm the Mach 'Teach wizard' could be used to compile the GCode to follow the moves that you have made manually but none of the (realistically priced) software I have encountered so far will compile code for an arm.
Good luck with your project.

Hope that's just spray paint Chris and not real gold.

Nice machine you have built there Dimitar. Do you have a final build cost ?.
Think it would probably take me 60 days just to do the wiring.
