One thing I don't see in your description is if your power feed is done with the half-nut on the lead screw or if it's through a gear box on...

Hey, cool! Glad you got it working and happy my writeup helped.

Steel, It looks like the voltage regulator on the interface board let go. On your second picture, take a close look at the solder joints on that head right beside...

Mark, Please see my writeup on my implementation of the project. It sounds like we have similar lathes, and I included my changes to configuration.h plus the logic that I...

Check the settings on your stepper motor controller.  You may need a particular serial cable from the maker of the controller.   You need to be certain of how many pulses,...

Pikolo, Check the wiring to your encoder on the spindle. There are two phases from a quadrature encoder, and if one works and the other doesn't, the TI card will...

OK, if the forward/reverse button on the control panel doesn't change things, then I'd double check the wiring to the stepper motor control box. James has a good wiring diagram...

In a system like this, between the parts of the ELS and the lathe itself, there are plenty of electronic noise sources to mess with the serial link between the...

Andrea, I don't think that there's anything particularly wrong here, just not the correct combination of speeds, feeds and cutter for that particular steel. That carbide cutter appears to come...

Guys, Attached is a writeup that I did on my implementation of the James’ design. Please see the section on changes to configuration.h and tweaks that I needed to make...
