I will have to try it I have it all ramps CNC shield uno mega mini rambo that won’t work here but with GRBL I think it will but I have work for my machine waiting 
monie for the pit.
Yeah. Keeping them always on is helpful.
I think the current setting needs to be adjusted so the motors don’t stay too warm. A good rule of thumb we’ve been using is 50C with the printed mounts.

Yes that is preferable so any tool change does not cause problems always on till sender is shut down
I just dry-fitted some steppers to a ramps board and connected it to estlcam, flashed the estlcam firmware “einwandfrei” to the ramps board.
Tried a .nc program i earlier did on my mpcnc and the steppers move!
For Christian this won’t be a surprise I think, but I am very pleased. I hope I will be able to change the arduino mega on my mpcnc tonight, so i can try it in real life!

The contraption is battery fed by a 24V battery.

Is it possible to use auto squaring with estlcam? I have a sort of working system now. All axis move the way I want, I can autohome, just not all steppers independently.

I sent an email to Christian Knüll, he answered that autosquaring is not supported by estlcam. Pity…

I have just installed the ESTLCAM firmware. I like it so far, but just have a few questions, prob followed by many more down the line 
Can I switch a relay on D9 of ramps? And if so what gcode does estlcam use?
When testing the surface scan feature on a drasticly exagerated surface, it works, but the movements are very jerky. Is there a way to smooth them out?
Thanks,
Damien.
