This is the first of three videos about real-time plotting of following-error of closed-loop stepper motors alongside LinuxCNC controlling a retrofitted mill. The stepper motors are Leadshine Easy Servo stepper motors and to plot their following-error I had to reverse engineer the serial diagnostics protocols. The first video is an introduction, the next video will be how to reverse engineer and implement a serial protocol, and the final video is the integration with LinuxCNC. If you are interested in LinuxCNC, Python programming, or stepper-motors maybe the video will be interesting to you. I plan to wrap up the other two videos in a couple of weeks, after the Open Hardware Summit. If you have a look, leave a comment that you're from CNCZone so others know to visit CNCZone.

Best wishes, Kent
