Re: 2006 ShopBot PRT Alpha controller upgrade...
Gene... In theory what you wish to do is possible, but in reality, very difficult for the inexperienced. Here are the reasons: 1) Without gear reduction you would have a 0.318.. turns ratio. Far below what is required for Centroid. That direct drive alpha was so bad that SB traded them out for gearm...

Re: VCP RESET onscreen button
I would say that mine (5.08) does not operate that way. Which is what I've been asking for in this thread.
Scott, Keith....

Re: acorn to ahha!
If your drives are 45khtz max, you should reduce the step pulse frequency even farther. The step pulse frequency sets the width (in usec) of the step pulse. For each pulse you will have an equal or greater (depending on speed) void between pulses. For example, at 100khtz this calculates to 1,000,000...

Re: VCP RESET onscreen button
reading marc's comments i thought he was asking for a virtual estop button which osha isn't going to like. No, not at all. I was suggesting that the appearance of the VCP reset button could change, depending on whether the actual emergency stop button was pressed. This would make it more obvious to...
