Glad to hear your making progress. Might your modifications work with more than XYZ axis. (I need to run it on 4 axis xyzw.) Would it be ok to send the sample g-code directly to your email? If so I'll try to dig up some extra slow stuff tomorrow at work. - Original Message - From: "Ro

I will try it with load tomorrow or next monday, because I'm finishing with the encoder coupling for the screw. I never tried the autotunning but it is supposed to tune all the motor parameters to get better torque. I hope that helps to improve the positioning. Anyway as I told before I don't need
