Hi all
I need to replace the drive motor on the cnc quilting machine i built for the wife, it doesn't have enough torque at the speed I need it to run.
What I'd like to do is use another stepper motor for the sewing machine and drive it from mach 3. I'm only using 2 axis at the moment so it would be easy to use the Z (or A) axis for this.
At the moment I do a M30 motor start to turn on the machine relay at the start of the sewing action, how do I turn on say the Z axis and leave it running until I send another motor stop command at the end of the process?
Thanks Dave
