| X2 X-axis Stepper motor Power Feed - (possible CNC conversion?) |

Just another step towards the xaxis contoller and I know probably not that interesting. I`ve actually started it properly now but I wanted to include an LCD so I thought it would be best to first try and implement an lcd on a current code. Here is my electronic ball and cup game with an lcd.... I`m certainly building up my understanding especially considering I`ve know nothing about either coding or electronics/circuits. |

Chris, impressive stuff this. :clap: It's good that you can be doing this preparatory work indoors too. :smart: then :dremel: :thumbup: |

Believe it or not, I am now getting down to the task in hand. Can I ask for a few ideas that you would think would be useful for an x-axis controller unit. Just to recap, as I appreciate this thread has lost a little focus - The controller is to drive the X-axis of the X2 milling machine. The current inputs and outputs: button left button right button stop button memory LCD display MotorRun LED Memory LED Function: On power-up, the indexer is auto set to position "0". The motor can be jogged left and right using the buttons If memory is pressed, followed by "left" or "right" that sets a limit at that side. Once two limits have been set, this allows you to simply move between limits (I expect progressing the feed on either the z or y axis). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- That is where I am up to now. Anyone any suggestions as to the sort of functionallity or other features it would be useful to have? Chris |

Variable traverse speed? Not necessarily constantly variable, but at least presettable. That could be on a +/- basis, set up several presets, or both. Also maybe a button/function to make it auto-traverse from one limit to the other and stop, or go back. |

Having a rapid traverse could be helpful for covering larger spans. Tim |
