**** Yet another update ****
Video uploaded showing a program to help configure the Arduino/ Stepper driver system here - https://youtu.be/vt_ds-X92uM
**** Further update *****
Requested "How to" video uploaded to https://youtu.be/S-a86EfwHDs
Gives a bit more information on how to connect all the parts together
**** Update ****
New update to the code is now on github at the following address -
https://github.com/kintekobo/millcode
Just use the Download button to get the files, place them in a directory called millcode and open the Arduino file called millcode.ino then compile.
Any problems leave me a comment.
This video describes my home-brew build of a powered feed for the table on my Axminster Mill. It uses a stepper motor controlled by an Arduino to enable fast traverses and slow feeds.
It's my first public how-to video so please be nice to me :-D
ADDITIONAL:
I have now modified to code to allow the table to traverse without having to hold the direction/speed button down. Table end detection is done by means of a reed switch and magnets one the table ends.
