Re: Opinions on CAD software
"Best" is a subjective term, especially when it comes to CAD, so you will probably get lots of opinions. I've using Alibre Design for a couple of years for 3-D part and assembly design and have been

Opinions on CAD software
Does anyone have any opinions on what is the best CAD software for a CNC milling machine? I am building a 3 axis gantry type machine driven by steppers. The motors will be controlled by Pic List

Re: How to deal with Stepper Motor heat - 150 degrees F
A little late coming into this discussion, but just one more thing to consider -- when the motors are holding their position, is one winding energized, or both? If you have 1.4A flowing through one

Re: L297/L298
This is a really old thread, but I am just catching up on my email and wanted to add my 2c, for the record: The one advantage of L297/L298 solution is that you can chain several L298 chips in

I didn't think you were being dismissive, it's usually hard to get your head around something new. A new idea either replaces something existing, or creates a new market (and sometimes then wipes out

Re: Open (i think) design for a parallel robot (reprap may be interested)
There are quantization problems with other than simple CAD models, however. Curves and low-tangent cuts are particularly subject to quantization error effects -- think of "jaggies" in graphics
