I just need to make a mounting bracket for the keypads now - I've made it where they actually behave like a keyboard that I can program to be anything (I've not made them to be a macro, though I imagine I could with autohotkey). The potentiometers finally work for modifying speeds and the multi-posi...

Well, I figured out a way to make it work for me, though I'd still be curious on how you're doing it. I found out that I can pass data from my g code to a variable like #100, #101, #102, and so on, from this I made a little sub program that I called and utilized that data (I normally don't deal with...

Alright, I've got questions - how are you handling tapping cycles, are you using a floating tap holder or doing rigid tapping? Thus far I've had issues getting G84 to work for tapping (it won't go down and reverse yet, I'm working on it to see if I've missed something) and I'd like to just make it w...

It took a couple tries to get the first part to run successfully, but at least here is the first component to my operator console. I'm using a post processor from Fusion 360 to make my g-code, though I really should try to write some from scratch myself. I did the engraving with a 1/32" end mill, ot...

It's been a while since I've posted and it's exciting when things happen so I wanted to share my progress (even if it is rather slow, though that's because I've been involved in other projects - I'm still reluctant to share actual pictures since I haven't finished the operator panel). I finally made...

I wanted to just edit my post above, but oh well. Did you just mount the Genevia gear / wheel / whatever it's called straight to the gearbox? I'm seriously curious how well that works since I'm assuming that's what you did - I really want to try this - I need to get a gearbox for my servo now, that ...

Looks like you beat me to it on adding a servo to the carousel. I'm about to jump back into working on mine - I got tied up with a couple machine installations for customers (and building a compressor that can handle this addition to my shop since mine was dying - again this is more so of a product ...

I appreciate the reply and information - I was starting to think you went silent on here. I've got it mostly running (although I had almost everything mechanical disconnected, I tend to be very anxious with new code until I've tested it thoroughly), I tested the spindle motor without air - that sure...

And I just finished another project, I'm going to be busy for the next month and a half (possibly two) as I've got two more projects in the works - one machine we're working on in house and a line I'll be programming in two weeks. So it may be a bit before I switch back to working on the Fadal. I've...

It took a little bit to get back to this, I've been all over the place this week, thankfully it's mainly been for drumming up more business. Alight, it took a bit to get it to be able to move the servos. Since everything is wired and I haven't written the configuration to the KFlop yet, I'll get to ...
