Don't be glum Dan, you've already demo'd to me that you WILL get there. The fact that LinuxCNC is being further developed, literally as I type this, even if the basic premise is decades old, can't be emphasized enough. One of the reasons I posted snips of my old code, old but still after the new words were added to the hal recipe, was to demo that, far more than any finger pointing at Jon's example. If it works, its right. I apologize to Jon if it was taken that way. I cannot today even run that code, because the hardware under it has changed. For the better is an arguable point because that driver Jon makes is a no compromise device doing exactly what you tell it to do with zero drama. It can now make that same motor break all sorts of stuff between it and the chuck it spins if I hadn't taken measures to tame the violent acceleration that drive is capable of making it do. OTOH, that 1 hp rated motor can now deliver nearly 2hp because the psu I built out of junk box parts makes 35 more volts and 10x the current that cleared the fuse in the OEM configuration. But it also gets the job done. Its had stuff in that 5" chuck that weigh half what that whole lathe weighs, and made the part. [...] > > Yes, I'm pretty sure it still does.
