No, I was looking in the pins tab, but was looking for joint.1.motor.pos.cmd, which does not seem to exist. Because theres no motor power though, I can look from here. And joint.1.motor-pos-cmd does exist now... But neither joint.0 or joint.1 motor-pos-cmd existed at 16:50 this afternoon, with power applied to the BoB and motors. Me goes wandering off in the general direction of the fridge for my nightly near beer. ============= I finally received those 2 laser cartridges today, and must say they are gawdawfull bright, but the beam is a good 2 to 3mm wide just an inch or so from it, and nowhere near a round circle. It does appear to be well colimated as its not a lot bigger on the wall 7 feet away. With an ND10 welding glass in front of todays camera chips after the lens itself has been removed, the spot may be bigger than the imaging chip! Time to clear a spot behind the lathe for a table and monitor. And go trolling the likes of tractor supply for a small ND-9 or ND-10 welding mask filter. Let the fun begin!
