heh - none of it - It is a hermes engraver. I have the official controller for it but no software yet. I just hooked up some parker step+dir drives to it using the existing steppers so I could play with it.
some pictures of it here. http://www.electronicsam.com/images/engraver/ also some more videos http://www.youtube.com/user/samcoinc the controller that came with it smoked when I first got it. fixed a diode and mosfet and is seems to work but agian - no software to try it. It homes and jogs anyways. It can do so much more with emc2 :) sam ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gene Heskett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "EMC developers" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 10:03 AM Subject: Re: [Emc-developers] Double step rate in TRUNK > On Tuesday 28 August 2007, Sam Sokolik wrote: >>I tested this a bit last night.
