Thanks again for your feedback! It sounds like we’re on a reasonable path. I’ll be happy to share as we work out the details!
I want to test the events, sequences and Lua code without being connected to our actual machine, so I am working on setting up a test platform for this using an RPi3 and Arduino Mega as described elsewhere on this forum. I’ve got it connected to the web app. When it comes to setup, can I answer yes to all the motor/movement related questions in the wizard and expect to be able to simulate the operation of the machine in a meaningful way? Right now if I attempt to jog the gantry it always jumps back home after animating the movement. Are there any steps I need to take for the web app to think the movements have completed? Or am I missing something?
EDIT: I think maybe I’ll answer my own question again. Looks like turning off the encoders did the trick.
