[QUOTE="vonG, post: 376496, member: 9242"] I get that it isnt fun all the time, but it will be when its finished I guess. :D Hope you will get it up and running and cutting stones soon, probably more fun then. I do know a bit of programming since I make trading indicators and trading experts in mql4, so I know the basics you are talking about. I just didnt think it was the same. I will have a look at it and see if I can make it work. The problem is probably that I dont just want the basic movement of the machine, I want it to do more. Like automatically measure the stone before cutting it (think I have talked about this before) and remember those measurements when grinding each facet. Having a visual picture of a finished cut stone in the program. As every facet is being cut, it should show where it is cutting on the picture. Having a torque force sensor giving it directions of how hard it should press down the stone against the lap and so on. Dont think this can be achieved with arduino or can it? Here is cold, -3 degrees celsius. Going down to -6 this afternoon. [/QUOTE]
