Actually, that's the software I am using, as presrcibed in the kit instructions. I'm starting to lean towards the theory that I'm tripping the stepper driver's thermal overload, although I'm not sure how, since I set the current limiter to match the motor (1A).
At any rate, I'm a bit stuck at the moment. Work has gone into panic mode and eating up all my time (I'm typing this at 0530 local time at the end of a my 10th 12hr+ shift in as many days (plus 2hr drive time)), and my last test attempt my Bowden tube stripped itself out of the brass fittings. That's a major structural weak point, there. And I can't find the tubing to buy for love or money -- the only places that seem to stock it at all are in England, and they're all sold out (and will charge me $35 shipping on a $10 piece of 300mm tube). I found something similar at Grainger Stateside, but they only sell it in 50ft/$75 dollar spools. If anyone knows where I can get 3-6ft of PTFE (Teflon) tubing (not the heat-shrink type) with an inner diameter of right on 2mm and an outer diameter of 3-4mm, without spending ridiculous amounts of money, I'd appreciate it.
