What is the best way to have emc find files on a local network server? It
seems only local folders show up in the drop down box. I have mounted on
the desktop a linked drive to find but have to do that every time the
machine starts. I would like not to have to do this.

Do you have any ideas? It seems I do not know the value of the PID to put
in for a old 1985 west amp velocity drive. Not sure where and who to get
help from. I keep getting bounce to sites and files that seem not to help.

How would I do that. I think we can install some type of RDP. What would
your hourly rate be?

The movement occurs when you start move on the axis. This hold perfect on
enable but after any move I get constant movement from there on.

My thanks as well - you folks have been wonderful guides into this brave new
world that I'm attempting to enter.
I look forward to being able to answer more questions and needing to ask
fewer in the new year :-)

It looks like the RepRap motherboard is based on a 644, which I've worked
with a bit.

Isn't mbed proprietary? I looked for schematics and firmware source on
their website but didn't see anything.
The last thing I want to do is get locked into somebody's single-source $60

I was thinking the exact same thing, only I started on the other end,
designing the perfect pendant. You, wisely, started by actually interfacing
Arduino with EMC. I definitely look forward to reading your adventures.

I use Batch PCB every month - I've probably made 30-40 orders through them
and have never had a bad board. It is a fantastic service for people like
me whose projects consist of many different boards and who tend to make

Today I played around with mounting a gear on the rear shaft and having a
simple spring-driven solenoid simply release a pin into the teeth of the
gear. That will work, but does have some complexity with regards the
surrounding extrusion. I like the string idea - it's ingenious in its
simplicity,
