My first reaction is that the proxes are mounted in a very bad way (malfunction will result in a switch acting like a hard stop) but that has nothing to do with the motors, it's just bad mechanical engineering. The setup is pretty closely priced to the parts I used to use (and those controllers are really good), then I know what I get. Hard to beat the experience part of a product.
@Viesturs, the motors can be controlled directly with step/dir motion. The hub is not needed. http://www.simplexmotion.com/documentation/SmApplicationNoteCncMachines01a.pdf /S ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your SQL database under version control now!
