Re: Difference 25Khz -> 45KHz

B.Agerholm
 

What i don't understand is why the machine is not faster @45KHz compared to the same G-code @25KHz ?
Reason for the change would be that i @45KHZ maybe would be able to control a brusless RC motor in more steps than @25KHz

It allows you to run higher pulse rates. Of course your motors and
drives have to be able to handle the higher pulse rates. Normally you
only need it for stepper drives with high microstepping ratios or
servos. If you are running near max speed at 25kHz then increasing the
kernel speed to 45kHz may make the pulses slightly smoother.

On the down side your computer will run slower if you increase the
kernel speed. Basically if 25kHz works for you then don't bother
increasing it.

Will not be taking up disc space. I used to have an entry in the list
for each version installed. It really messed up reading the
Install/Uninstall list.

Had not looked for a while but now see they are not there. I am not
sure if I have seen them on this new computer, might have been a
Windows bug fixed by an update. Clear it all out and delete the
registry entries and try a totally fresh install. I think it should
stay clean.
Re: Digital Tool CNC router set up with BobCAD & Mach3

 

I have a pdf of the pinout that I use for my Anaheim Automatation driver box
with Mach3. Email me direct if you want me to send it to you.

I just made up some breakout boxes, so I can use all of the limits, etc. I
did however change the limit switch contacts to NC.

Re: EMi and Loosing Steps Update

Hi:

. With the fault wires
changed to the breakout board when the buffer reaches 100% I see
all Axis stop, till the buffer goes down. My Question is, The buffer causing
the lost steps and if so How can I increase it capacity?


I still dont understand the above. Where are you hooking the fault lines to on the break out board. What signal??

I changed the wiring of the Gecko fault to the breakout board and tried
different pin setting on the motors The original setting works the best. If
I run the Y axis back and forth 5-10 times the motor will stop and fault but
it won't do it all the time its the same with X axis. With the fault wires
changed to the breakout board when the buffer reaches 100% I see
all Axis stop, till the buffer goes down. My Question is, The buffer causing
the lost steps and if so How can I increase it capacity?

The Ball screws have no bind when turn by hand so I don't think there a bind
I was just cutting air. I can try to stop the head from moving it over power
me so it seems they have good power

Anybody have docs, software, ... that they can pass along? I've

I am hoping to use it to control a 2 axis CNC lathe if I can find docs
on how to use/control it.

Re: Driver problem new computer

Andy Wander
 

The only problem with not removing ACPI, and trying some or all of the
other fixes, is that if you end up HAVING to remove the ACPI afterwards,
you will have to go back and do all of the other stuff again, as it will
get reset to defaults after removing the ACPI.

I had this happen to me, and it is a real pain in the butt.
