Re: Beta 5.1 RC#6 DriveOk (Fault) inoperative

This thread can be ignored as 2 errors were found:

1) PICNIC error (problem in chair, not in computer

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....
What is the state of the reset button when either the DriveOk or SpindleOk inputs are tripped?

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: min lathe build AC spindel on off control
