The next step, Proterface software

Some progress here.....

Did finally get to install and get the software working with the electronics.
Rik did preconfigure the Arduino card with breakoutboard for me
so I can have a quickstart

The Github - printrun instruction was very helpfull with installing
the Proterface software and get it to work.

Did find out that its 23 deg C° - Summer did arrive here!





Change of heart...cheaply available LMU ballbushings did change my mind in the X-base design.
All planned features with reduction maindrive does remain the same.

Now the electronics including powersupply, display, dialswitch and most of the cables can be
kept inside the base.

I think, pretty neat!

Next the Y axis design, finishing the bridge.
