General Mach Discussion / Could a tool change home position be added?

« on: January 31, 2006, 10:27:36 AM »

Maybe this can be done and I just don't know it.  I like the tool returning to a specific location for tool changes.  I have added in my post processor a location of X0 Y0 Z2.  Could Mach3 do this for me?  Is there some way that I could have a script or option to have it return to a user specific location on tool changes?

General Mach Discussion / What is microstepping and half stepping?

« on: January 27, 2006, 07:03:06 PM »

What is the differance between microstep drivers and half/full step drivers?  The name implies one drives in micro steps, where the half full drives in one full step.  What are the advantages / disadvantages?

Wow!  The G-Rex looks amazing.  I don't even understand 10% percent of what is in the manual for it, but hey!  It's got lots of circuit paths!
