Writing things ...The one you are most familar with.<br />Writing things like smooth acceleration in XY independent from Z,<br />g-code interpretation,<br />pause and abort,<br />...<br />is a LOT of effort.<br />I fear that the very cool mechanical development<br />may suffer from a lack of time that is instead spend on duplicating the effort done by others.The Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01641247429615484542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23681518.post-86785435864555186172011-07-06T06:11:30.838-07:002011-07-06T06:11:30.838-07:00Which would you suggest?Which would you suggest?Forrest Higgshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208965471464716174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23681518.post-20277410238336856382011-07-05T23:46:44.735-07:002011-07-05T23:46:44.735-07:00Wouldn't it be simpler to develop the new wire...Wouldn't it be simpler to develop the new wire-mechanics with some known working electronics first and only then start developing new electronics and firmware?The Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01641247429615484542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23681518.post-5294971011223173392011-07-05T19:31:25.785-07:002011-07-05T19:31:25.785-07:00I've since tuned it down to about 52 mm/sec. ...I've since tuned it down to about 52 mm/sec.
