Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Well had a good think about the input power so found a IEC socket that can be bolted to the side of the cabinet which can into a power point so the 9V plug pack can power the stepper board. Then the Active AC wire can go straight to the motor where the Neutral wire can go to a switch on the project case then onto the motor.

This way the motor can only be started manually and is only a finger touch away from the E-Stop so a quick stoppage can be done.

Now thinking on the code as the X axis is going back and fourth the amount of Y axis travel can be a input to suit the wheel width then the G-code could be made in a SUB

IE: 10mm Y axis travel could be called "10Y" for example, then with the Z axis down travel set thats is all that is needed.

So if we need to move the Y axis less another SUB can be called.

Regards Bryan
