| Darren:
I did consider pic, but it was way too far into new territory for me. Now that would make an interesting write up to follow...... :thumbup: |
| raynerd:
Nice going John, I`ll keep watching with interest as this is the same milling machine I own. I have reading few thread on here about mill power feeds, I think Darren also has a thread. Why do you guys use standard electrical windscreen motors rather than hooking up a stepper motor? Electronics isn`t my strong point - but I just thought you`d have more control with a stepper?

| John Rudd:
2 reasons for going with the wiper motor....it was £6... I'm a tight wad...tight Northern git whatever.. and pwm speed control is easy to do... Steppers can be expensive and need a stepper control circuit...slightly more complicated... |
| raynerd:
OK - I understand. So basically a stepper would do the same job just at a greater expense. Good luck with the rest of the mod, I`ll be watching!! Chris |
| Darren:
John, what do you mean by 0%? zero voltage or full voltage output? Or should I say fully chopped or full intact wave? |
