I left the motor running at 15.5Hz for about an hour, drawing about 82% of its name plate FLA, did not get too hot to touch by about 30 degrees F. I might be able to turn up the slow speed torque boot some as I'm not using very much. But the lathe is stiff, so I may have to bang it harder at startup In the process of hooking up the Spin X1, I found there wasn't a common ground between the 7i90 psu and the r-pi. Added a jumper, no more joint errors have I seen. So maybe that bug has been stepped on. But I've a 5 amp box coming, so getting rid of the #$%^ wall warts per board should kill that. If it arrives tomorrow. Been about 12 hours now since I issued a plea on the o-pi forum, asking how to get it to boot from the sd. What I have learned is that it appears not to recognize wireless key-boards or mice until its fully booted, until then it can only see a tty terminal, not even a wired usb keyboard, and that it has no hdmi until its fully booted to whatever its booting to that is gui only, in some pictographic language. Can we call that a revolting development? Even the forum msg I read that in, is 18 months old, and in computer years thats an Eon. Thats 3 strikes and they are out for aliexpress.
