But when I went back out, it was approaching 80 turns but all the halmeters watching it were displaying in sci notation, rawcounts had been just a few short of it when I started. looked for a reset pin on the encoder, taint one, so run it the other way about 60,000 degrees to get down to a 3 digit count for a starting point, zeroed my counter, swapped the drive and encoder feeds cuz it was running the wrong direction, and started all over again. I think I'm not gonna like the scale... > > -----Original Message----- > > From: andy pugh <bodge...@gmail.com> > > Sent: December 14, 2020 1:07 PM > > To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) > > <emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [Emc-users] can i > > hook this to my cnc mill > > > > On Mon, 14 Dec 2020 at 18:00, grumpy--- via Emc-users > > <emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > > > https://venturebeat.com/2020/12/07/nextmind-real-time-brain-comput > > >er -i nterface-dev-kit/ > > > > Video it if you do.
