Phonix back in the day when I worked as a heavy machinist I was starting my 30' planer motor when I went from star to delta a arc went over the the planer bed and one guy walking by copped it full on and he was gone.That 200 Kw motor was toast and that planer was never run again.

Now as the steppers I have here are 2.4 Nm I don't think they will handle the current needed to run this surface grinder so I am thinking of getting somemore DM556 micro stepper modules off ebay.

I did look at my old code in MMEdit that was still there and I'm sure you will remember that code Harm gave did run the stepper on my cnc.

The problem is when I did that code GP numbers wern't needed so I do think this can done on 2040 without the new stepper code
