Stepper motors ordinarily cannot be driven the intended pulse rate from the get go. They will stall. A technique of starting at a low step rate and increasing...
Hi That is how fast the motor is going to TRY to accelerate or decelerate , if it is set too fast the motor will not be able to keep up and will just stop...
John, I just responded to a list message to the list. (?) On machine configs, it's really best to understand what your machine requires and calculate for...
... Yes, its a well known problem in CNC-Pro. You can override your programed feedrate but, it will only last until the next "F" call. Not a real big deal,just...
Pictures added in the photos section of this board under "Items made with CNC Pro". Trevor, very nice looking router you built. Is that a right angle gear box...
John, Thanks for the complement. I think the drive you are talking about is the lump at the front that drives the gantry from under the table. I say this as I...
John, Not the "M" Move function. "Z" function where you adjust the program origins. After using the program for a while and jogging a lot to reset origin, etc,...
John, I had no idea the preferred override was to be in effect regardless of additional F words until the end of the program in CNCPro. No one has mentioned it...
Regarding the issue with the z function. It is not necessary to reboot to regain use of this function. That is the good news. The bad news is I can't remember...
Ok, I did a search on the old Yeagerautomation site and did find a post that I sent to Doug Yeager in 2002. Just push the shift key and the z function is...
Carey, this news is great and just by chance I accidently hit at keys yesterday out of frustration when another bug popped up. When you halt a program with the...
Here is a little info on the program as I've been using it some. I was using Al's version because I liked the changes that he made. However, I think that due...
This IS the long-known keyboard lockup problem, which will cause CNCPro to NOT see certain keystrokes. It manifests itself when one does a lot of jogging. I...
Apparently not all keyboards responded to the same fix. In my case I found (quite by accident) that I could regain control of the numeric keypad by turning...
... Does Doug's original version have the same problem ? (I have no way to test this myself right now). Alan -- Alan Rothenbush Academic Computing Services ...
Well, I don't think so. The file I compiled has C and H files dated no later than 5-4-2002 and obj files dated 4-19-2003. I did not use the obj files as I had...
Thanks for the detailed reply; I'll have a look at things. However, if you've read any of my previous posts to this group, you'll see that I'm not a C...
... I would have said X axis but I didn't know if thats what you called it. Have any problems with backlash in the gears? Having handwheels on the steppers is...
... I have no problem with using the F & S keys (I have dedicated buttons) Its just that the override is not "sticky",it always reverts to 100% or the...
it ... have ... and ... arrow ... I'm using Al's version and have not had this problem, but my jog keys are configured exactly the way they were under Doug's...
Okay, I did more experimentation with both versions. Al's version glitches out when you hit a limit during any move, jogging or G-code execution. The glitch...
I understand that you aren't a C programmer from reading some of your past posts. However, you are light years ahead of me since much of it reads like greek. I...
Shane, Yes, I do manual tool changes which allow for jogs to fit the new tool using both CncPro and TurboCnc. But the trick is in setting the cam post not the...
