an edge finder is just a fancy dowel contraption with a spring in it, and costs
about $10. this looks like generic info:

i have never seen one smaller than 3/8" diameter, but it would be easy to make
one somewhat smaller. a plain dowel and a piece of

Well, Peter, after 12 hours close encounter : It might be a version
of the machine without cover, this CNC is built on a tradtional lathe
setup, just adding servos and a better spindle engline, some sensors
and this Sinumerik/FANUC 6 control and that's it !

I, i have a very annoying problem.
say i'm into world mode and jogging.. (f3, manual mode) ok.
then i write a movement into MDI. (f5, mdi mode) ok.
then i press again f3 and go back to the manual mode, but... it become
joint mode, instead of world mode! i find this very annoying, because if

well, no realtime needed on a host pc, or even no host at all, like e.g.
on ultimaker+ultipanel+sd card printing.
the only thing todo for smoothie is blending+ better motion control.
and maybe support for variables, loops, and other rather complex stuff.

Well, feel free to ask questions. The microchip forums can be rather
daunting to get some of the basic questions answered. At first, the
biggest challenge is just to get a project that will compile.
If you already have a hex file, you can load it into the windows pickit2
loader, and you don't ne
