Hyperthreading was a really dumb way to get around some MicroSoft OS's

I think that mine is one of the cheap copies.
Geckos are great for a no-brainer - they just work - solution..
I ordered a set of these recently for a very price sensitive project:

If you do some searches
That is a pretty cost effective stepper drive and if you blow it up you
only lose one axis not the whole board like a TB6560.

It was really interessting to get to know other people working and

I do really like to repeat this ;)

Hello everybody.
I'm about to buy a 6i25 with a 7i77 to use with a machine that I'm
retrifitting.
I know Andy worked with the 6i25 and it works well using the 5i25 firmware,
but I don't know if anybody has tried this board with the 7i77 and LinuxCNC.

It does seem like rather more hardware than strictly necessary.
Yes it's a little more but it's cheaper than the 5i20 and 7i33 together.
But since there are no daughter cards with less servo outputs this is the
simplest and quickest solution I guess.

Easy :)
I have home switches for each gantry joint. Main thing is to set
Home_sequence to be the same for both of these joints and set equal home
search and latch velocities.

Hello All
I would like to run Touchy on the resoltution 1024x600.
I found this sentence in the file design.notes in the Touchy src
directory: Configurability of font sizes makes it work with any screen
resolution.
Where can I configure this to fit to the above mentioned resolution?
Regards,
There are a lot of email threads on the web about issues with the TB6560
board and how they can be fixed..by cutting traces, changing parts, etc.
I'm not interested in trying to work past built in design flaws.
Once I get these drives I'm going to hook them up to a motor and a load
