How to understand the MaxLimits

Re: Did I toast my KFlop??

Hi Tom, It's me, the boy that cried wolf :oops: :oops: :oops: It turned out that my KFlop is OK and my years of trouble free service had been riding on pure dumb luck. After swapping in the spare KFlop I got no boot on the spare either. I have the back plate that carries Kanalog mounted on drawer sl...

Re: Did I toast my KFlop??

Hi Tom, The external power reads 5.05vdc measuring from disconnected connector. No it definitely is not cost effective to trouble shoot and repair.

Hi Tom, As allways I find your answers very helpful. After rethinking and digging deeper I noticed that all that I need is already in the c programs folder. Since you have allready done the heavy lifting I figure I'll have few minutes of ctrl-c/-v, few hours to add the abs encoder with math for XZ r...

Re: Bridgeport cnc conversion?

Hi Tom, I mean this from 0:12 to 0:17 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyW4-Rbju4w. I imagine doing that with cnc/G-code takes hadful of drillbits for practice, but can this be done in for loop of init file? X slaved to Z, gain from tilt, Z slaved to quill handle encoder?

Bridgeport cnc conversion?

Hi All :D I'm currently wondering if I should convert my old Bridgeport to CNC or just replace it with something else. Major unclear is how to config for the combination of tilted milling head and quill feed. In my workshop I have a fully analog person that needs the possibility to operate in manual...
