Great news to hear that the o-rings fixed your turret leak. Gary

Well it was a pretty productive day. Besides getting the start up issue resolved I was able to get the Leadshine Servo Tuning done with everything in the machine. Pretty exciting to see some things moving after a lot of work. Couldn't get the videos from my iPhone to work here so I added them to the...

Well I am still not sure if this is how it should be, but as long as the computer is powered up first it works flawlessly so I guess that is how it is. With that in mind I added a Hickory Start Up relay and a momentary contact button on the front panel today and wired up a little interlock circuit s...

I have a question about startup sequence. I have come to the place I am ready to startup the machine and do the tuning and testing that is necessary for all of the different components. When I did the initial bench test everything went fine, but before I went farther I wanted to update the Beagle Bo...

Got the Beagle Bone update today. Simple and quick. Thanks!

Thanks, that is what I thought, just wanted to make sure I was clear on it. I did all the tuning with it on the bench, but just wanted to run it again now that the motors are in the machine, so it is tuned real world. Gary
