Z-axis upgrade setup

Postby J45on » Sat Sep 17, 2011 1:23 pm

I have had a search and can not find the steps per inch for the z axis using bart's z axis upgrade bits
I am certainly not brainy enough to work it out 20 tooth to 48 tooth then threaded Rod 1/4-20
I am trying to set up my DSP for the Z-axis today , What does the option "reset z axis " in the DSP menu do ?
Does it home and then return to a known position or does it just home ?

And auto focus

Right I have found the steps per inch at last ( it is 9600 ) Just need to find out the Pulses per Unit to enter in to the DSP.
And have also figured out that reset z homes it to the bottom and stays there so now I have to add a permanent switch for Z-
Auto focus seems to raise the table until it hits the trigger Z+ (switch or sensor) then backs off.
I presume this is the focal multiple thing shown in the bottom left

Once I have the Z-axis set correctly I shall play some more and figure the auto focus out

Ps I got Deus EX for my birthday today so I probably won't get much work done this weekend :lol:
