I made my code a little starter, and put an RS274NGC_START_CODE line in the .ini, and it appears it is going to do, slowly, what I want it to do. Speed is limited by how much power I can get thru the timing belt to the spindle. Needs additional tension adjustment and bracing facilities but ALL that crap is directly below the spindle housing. A fix for that will be a cast iron bitch. Likely a lever bolted to the end of the shaft mount, projecting to the rear, where I might be able to rig a push screw against the outer end of it. The OEM motor mounbt was almost good enough for the 400 watt motor is came with, but swap it out for a 1 horse, and its way too puny. Too much flex. However, speaking of DRO's, there is not a tool velocity display in either the preview screen or the DRO screen, regardless of whether or not it is checked in the view pulldown. I would like to know if its following orders... So this is the first real, twasn't my stupidity, bug report on 2.6.8-pre1. Velocity doesn't show regardless of view selection. Heck, I might get this thing (a 2 speed polybelt drive for the mill) made yet. Replacing the 200 watt motor with the 400 watter from the lathe at the same time.
