I have now made a custom Touchy tab for it, and embedded code in the tab sends MDI commands to perform the hobbing cycle as is being suggested above. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/gLRI12vgLiTBw6uEUmsKDdMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink ( I can't get to the files from where I am now to show the Python that controls the machine) One thing to be careful of when sending MDI from Python... STOP on the machine just stops the current MDI command. The Python code needs to check for a STOP condition too, or the motion re-starts when the Python sends the next MDI command. Sending motion commands through emccanon seems like it ought to be a more correct approach, but it is harder and you need to do the coordinate systems yourself. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
