« on: May 14, 2007, 09:46:20 PM »

  Win a free Grex !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mach licenses & a G100 plugin [/u][/color][/size]


You can win this package worth more than $600.00 by guessing the number of chips in the picture below. The winner will be announced May 29th unless someone guesses it spot on before that time. If no one gets it spot on by then, I will award it to who ever is closest. I will be giving hints from time to time so keep an eye on it. The first hint is, the number is between 3,000,000 and 2,000,000. Only one entry per member. It can however be edited at any time. In other words, you can go to your original post and edit the number you wish to submit. That is, until we lock it on the 26th.

If anyone doesn't know what this competition is for here are links to pages that will help you understand.

Hey Kevin,
   I don't understand why it would do it with Mach 3 and not do it with Mach 2. Have you tried to calibrate your steps per in Mach 3?

Hey James,
    What kind of drives are you using? Do they have any tuning provisions? At what speeds do they run good and bad? Is this a new problem or a new set up?

I can't remember if it has been mentioned before or not. Have you tuned your Geckos? Also, what is your debounce set at?

Very, very neat Graham. I could spend a week looking at a single piece. I bet you were torn on where to spend your time.
