Break out board pins.

Hi I have purchased a new 5 axis BOB. I am converting a Denford microrouter to run MACH3, I have purchased a break out board but it did not have indipendant GND conections for the stepper drivers.

Re: Wanted ORAC Spindle Drive Choke

Hi.
Hmm On the 200m meter setting it reads 01.0, and that is the same if I touch the meter leads together.
Price ? don't know what they are worth.

Re: Microrouter - to buy or not ?

So a few table size tweaks and all other controls spindle control and home switches will already be configured.

I see in previous posts that v5 can take in a drawing and create the g m codes required so it would do the same as sheetcam.

Is there any demo software available

Re: Micro router

Oh the joys of the cnc word How hard can it be. I would have liked to have a machine that is simple to operate and program. An all in one package would be great Obviously I am on a tight budget as this is never going to be any more than a hobby machine to play with. It would probably be more cost ef...

Re: Micro router

Hi yes sorry it is black
I have been playing with Mack3 for awhile

The vendor is unable to demonstrate it working as it is in a second hand shop. And does not know anything about it or model number. I...
