[Emc-users] Carving a spiral

2024-04-09 Thread John Dammeyer
A friend and I have been discussing exactly how to write the G-Code to create a spiral scroll. His rotary table 90:1 reduction with a 1600 micro-step motor could be set up to move N steps for each step of the X axis to create the spiral. But that approach seems clumsy. Say I wanted to cut a scr

The Pi5 has the advantage over a Pi4 of not only a faster CPU but the real step up over the Pi4 is that you can install the file system on a M2 SSD and not have to run off the SD card. But if you look at the price, you get more for the same money if you buy a low-end Intel PC from a place like
