Hey,
I'm trying to add a simple button on the right hand side to Shutdown the system. I'm setting the machine up Kisok style. So, how do you add a button that will throw up a confirm

Hello t
Hello to all,
We've almost finished to wire and configure the mazak to work with LCNC. So
far, joint movements and homing are working flawlessly. I'm using servos
in step+dir mode so no real feedback is coming from the joints of the
machine.
I happen to have some following erros on both X and Z
Axes working now. I found my error in configuration. The axes were moving
in the commanded direction, but I didn't notice that the encoder was
reading the opposite sign of that direction.
Duh!

Hi Gene;
No, my little Unimat is really just for show. I take it to exhibitions,
and it moves around, but does not cut anything.
I *could* take some of my spare parts and make it thread, but to be

He thinks it is probably an alternistor triac, and that something from
here would be a substitute.
