No, it does not have LinuxCNC on it. It is running Mach3 :)) I am offered to retrofit it to LinuxCNC for 2 reasons: 1) make machine stable and reliable; 2) control each of 2 spindles independently; The first point includes several things, but that loss of position in one particular joint is the one that I am not completely sure to be caused by current controls. That is why I asked about it with a hope that someone might had similar situation. Yes, I actually did what Andy said - overlooked the mechanics, because in all joints there are Nema42 stepper motors connected to Festo cylinder with ballscrew inside. I do trust those 2 things a lot, but now I start thinking that I should check the point, where both of them are joined together - maybe the bolt is not tightened or something... -- Viesturs If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
