What is your work surface made of? ESD mat, metal, etc?

Interesting. I ordered the lights Adam mentioned above ($8 for 2 on Amazon) but will have to keep the LED strip in mind too.

Does it actually improve the vision functions?

How did you mount those lights, can you share some photos? From my measurements I can fit about a 50mm diameter ring light before hitting the A axis motor, unless I reduce the max Z height (which wouldn't be the worst thing I guess).

A axis mode was the culprit, for reference it was set to mode 3 [radius]. The command $aam=1 fixed it. Thanks.

X, Y, and Z homing, jogging, and testing all work fine. When I hit "Test A", it starts spinning but doesn't stop and after a while the software loses communication and I have to reset the tinyg and reconnect to it. The motion is smooth, and can be sped up or slowed down using the speed set...

I also had that problem when the acceleration and speed were too high for an axis.

Not according to Juha, see http://liteplacer.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=79&p=425. He mentions nothing about powerful graphics hardware. I'm not too worried about a few seconds extra per part if it just takes longer to process the camera images, if I wanted a high end pick and place machi...

I wonder if anyone has actually measured current consumption? I plan on wiring mine such that I can put an inline meter between the 24V supply and the tinyg.

I suspect the profit just wasn't enough to be worth his time, even 1699 is a bargain compared to any other P&P machine with vision.
