Hi Tom I think I am begining to understand this a bit better and have had another try at tuning the servo. Speed is now approx 0.25m/second which is fast...
I'm good mechanically, can handle 220/110VAC and 12VDC electric, have built many computers, and good at following direction, BUT know NOTHING about CNC...
Hi Art, That looks very good. Except the Acceleration limit is basically set to infinity so the max acceleration is limited by the Jerk (and the Max...
Hi Gregg, We helped someone to do a TREE retrofit from around that time frame. It was just a 2 axes system (XY). One big problem was that it had resolvers...
For the 3 axis the Tree 320 uses a 500 line/rev Dynamic Research Corp. encoder. I do not know if they are using the sine wave version (DRC-150) or the square...
Tom, Can you check the uploaded c program to see where I have gone wrong. I have added the Y axis and limit switches on x and Y axis. Set the motor tuning in...
Art, The line in your c program:    EnableAxisDest(0,ch1->Position); should be    EnableAxisDest(1,ch1->Position); Otherwise you are enabling axis 0...
Today I confirmed the motors move in both directions using a 1.5v battery. They don't move far before a circuit pops and I have to hit the "emergency stop...
Hi Gregg, Not sure what you mean, but that doesn't sound right. The motors should move at a controlled and constant speed of ~15% of max speed since 1.5V is...
Hi Tom I have separate limits for each end on all axis and I was hoping to use one of the as the home switch to0. Is this possible? I also have the axis set to...
Tom, The old controller/computer doesn't have all the correct parameters in it right now. The encoders was turning with the motor (as one would expect), but...
Gregg, keep us posted on your progress. Pictures would be great too. (Uploaded to the photos area) I intend to embark on the same adventure soon. Marty...
Hi Art, Attached is a newer firmware that should solve the communication problem after a disable message. Copy it to the DSP_KFLOP directory and use the...
Hi Tom That has cured the reset problem. I am not sure how to test the home program I opened it in the C program window and tried to run it but the table just...
Hi Art, Yes that is the correct way to test. The SimpleHome3Axis.c program will have to be modified for your system. Probably the program is waiting for the...
Hi Tom, Should we all be updating to the new version 4.23B or just leave things well enough alone. I have been doing more threading and it works a treat. I use...
Hi Ross! I've mostly integrated things into the firmware so a User program should no longer be required, but I have several more things to add. Give me a bit...
Hi Tom, I dont have the Z axis conneted yet as I am still trying to source conectors for the Zservo motor. I took out all reference to Z axis channel 2 When I...
Hi Art, KFlop doesn't have a problem with IO numbers 128 or larger so if you are using IO136 specify 136. Strange that with and without the NOT they both...
Hi Tom I just realised I was talking a lot of rubbish and it was only Mach that does not like the large I/O numbers. Thats how I was removing the NOT but it...
Hi Tom I have tried it with IO 136 with and without ! and there is no difference. (still small movement in positive direction) I have also tried different...
Art,  Let's try something even simpler:  TK    #include "KMotionDef.h" main() {    Jog(0,-1000);          // start moving    while...
Hi Tom, I get this error: C:\KMotion422\C Programs\user2.c:1: unrecognized character \xa0 When I run the simple program. Wish I could understand this. Regards ...
Hi Art, Maybe the email is adding odd characters? I've attached the file. Hang in there we'll get it eventually :} TK ________________________________ From:...
