I’ve been playing with kindlegen and kept getting “Hyperlink not resolved errors”. Turns out if you just pass kindlegen a single html file to process into a mobi it will only ever process that file. You’ll need to keep all your content in a single html file.
If you want to structure your document as multiple html files you have to create a OPF to process with kindlegen and include a manifest in it. Kindlegen will add all your linked html files to the mobi and everything should work correctly.
You’d be wise to refer elsewhere for full details of the OPF format, but an example manifest section might look like this:
<manifest>
<item id="content" media-type="text/x-oeb1-document" href="index.html"></item>
<item id="c1" media-type="text/x-oeb1-document" href="methods.html"></item>
<item id="c2" media-type="text/x-oeb1-document" href="cutting.html"></item>
<item id="c3" media-type="text/x-oeb1-document" href="testing.html"></item>
<item id="c4" media-type="text/x-oeb1-document" href="moremethods.html"></item>
<item id="c5" media-type="text/x-oeb1-document" href="footnotes.html"></item>
</manifest>

I guess I’m a bit crazy for linear stages at the moment. In addition to the Chuo Seiki XY stage I also picked up these Kohzu linear stages. They also use Oriental motor 5-phase steppers, but this time PX535MH-Bs (0.75Amps per phase). I’m really curious to see how the 5-phase steppers perform. Particularly having read the info from the Oriental Motors site.. Would be nice to do some vibrational tests.

I picked up this Chuo Seiki XY stage a while ago. It has 25mm travel and 2 micron resolution! It also uses Vexta 5-phase steppers (I believe PH533-NB-C30s). However it didn’t come with any drivers. I’ve never driven a 5-phase stepper before but I’ve ordered the Oriental Motor drivers, and will probably try and make my own at some point. It uses Hirose HR10 series connectors (HR10A-10P-12S(73)s). Which I’ll also need to buy.
It should be an interesting project in any case, and I hope to use it to automate my optical microscope stage.
I’ve also got another Chuo Seiki XYZ stage on it’s which reportedly has 1 micron resolution, hopefully I’ll be able to report back on both of them when I get to the UK.

I can never recall the code to do a scatter plot in gnuplot. So here it is for reference:
set size square
set ylabel "YLabel"
set xlabel "XLabel"
set terminal postscript eps color
set output "plot.eps"
plot "data" using 1:2 with points
This creates an eps file called plot.eps from a file called data. The file should contain 2 columns, the first being the x axis and the second the y.
