This is the first experimental release, for those who want to start building their own electronic leadscrew without delay.

CAUTION: This is experimental software, intended for testing and early adopters.

The essential functions are all working:

  • Metric and imperial feeds
  • Metric and imperial threading
  • LED&Key control panel
  • Stepper and Servo motor support
  • Configurable for different motors, encoders and leadscrew pitches

...but with a some limitations:

  • No support for metric (mm pitch) leadscrews
  • No acceleration/deceleration when switching threads/feeds/direction

Note that this release also has no safety features present. Future releases will incorporate speed limits, protections against abrupt direction or speed changes, and failsafes to detect software errors that might otherwise cause unexpected rapid movements of the carriage.
