    Drive motors buzzing

The phase current is modulated using pulse width modulation to support micro-stepping which gives finer resolution, smoother and quieter motion than either half or full step. You'll likely...

    Making a cut path

    You can digitise an origin or manually enter a home offset to add a translation. The simplest way to setup is generate the cad file with the origin at (0,0). Use plate alignment to digitise a corner and edge of the plate. The controller will automatically calculate the translation and rotation...
