Hi I guess it makes sense to go for the biggest? http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/Q4040K7TP/Q4040K7TP-ND/216027 Not necessarily. TRIACs require a minimum latching current to flow through it, otherwise they will switch off to early after triggering. For the types in question this

I can recommend Vectric VCarve Pro, but it is expensive for what it is. Needs to run under Windows, but will output LinuxCNC-compatible code. Ask for a LinuxCNC or EMC2 post-processor, if there isn't one on the menu. I use it regularly for all sorts of jobs. Used it this morning for text

Re: [Emc-users] help with memorial plaque

Hi, the problem with a actual photography is, it will not look good (realistic) if you just convert it into gray scale, interpret this as a height field and turn this into a relief using your mill. You would need a real high field, representing the 3D surfaces in the scene, than compress this in

Another good program for turning photographs/jpegs into a machinable picture is PhotoVCarve at http://www.vectric.com/products/photovcarve.html It's a single-purpose program and I have seen lots of good results from that. Sadly, it is another Windows program, but the output is LinuxCNC

Re: [Emc-users] help with memorial plaque

Hi Doug I will send you the image tonight or tomorrow night. Sorry for being unclear, but I can't do anything with just _one_ image. The reconstruction of a high field from a single image can't be automated (at least to day) in general. The only think I can do it following your approach,
