Snow Day!!An amazing thing happens here in Virginia when we get a few inches of snow. Everything shuts down. Work called and they said we were closed, so time to get out the pressure washer and take care of this puppy!
What a difference a day makes! Compare these pictures to the Z-lift assembly video I shot yesterday. Looks like new now

Look at what I just noticed
Z-lift motor mount for an electronic upgrade from the manual focus knob! How nice that they used slots here instead of mounting holes. Obviously this allows you to tension the belt with the motor mount.

Wow! It has been a busy weekend. I've been testing the DSP controller on my smaller U40 laser, cleaning the ULS laser, and making these log entries. There is now a wealth of knowledge presented for you all to interpret. The engineers at Univeral Laser Systems designed a fine piece of machinery. I would gladly recommend them to anyone who is considering a new purchase of a full blown commercial unit.

How is the new controller working? I assume the problems with the last one are gone.

You could be right about the Math error. To test your theory, try making the math more integer friendly. Make the engrave resolution an exact multiple of the image resolution (in steps) and make the stepover and exact number of steps too.
