I try! But I was once described as the most untidy worker ever in a firm I used to work for! It's true, but only in respect to the actual workplace, ie tools EVERYWHERE!
Z Axis is now running. I think it was a little sticky after being parked for 4 years. Servo tuning was hit and miss, so I left it it a running state, and wrote a quick program to move both axis's with a pseudo Sine Wave motion at various speeds from 1500, 2250 and 3000mm a minute. Then a rapid back to the start. This was looped 50 times, so 150 cycles. I'll run it again tomorrow and then try tuning the servo's some more.
Might even cut a part tomorrow just for kicks.
Smoothstepper seems to be running ok. no glitches even with the 3Kw VFD running.
