1st test part done.

Big thanks to Marty !



No vids but next time, when threading, drilling...

Thanks a lot Marty !

It's for small parts (1 inch long max), so If i can save 20 sec each time (around 12 inches travel twice), it's about 1min or more per part.

Hello !

So, I do a fresh install, copy atc files, and follow Lathe counter based. I put Sync bit on input 1 (without relay) on DB25 port, Counter on input 2 on DB25 port, and inputs work correctly ! In alt-i, it's ok for both of them. Why before it wasn't on input 3 and 4 I don't know, but today ...
