Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to read the position of the tool and write it to a variable. For example: - touch 1st plane with the touch probe -...
Hello, basically, i'm only getting 8 IPM, but if I exceed that, my motors start missing steps like crazy. I have been using an old 800MHz HP PC in DOS mode,...
And I forgot to mention that my pulse width is 35. any lower and i also lose steps like crazy. and the motors hold really solid when they hold their position....
I have few suggestions 12V probably ain't gonna cut it. You need probably twice or 3 times that to get decent performance out of the motors. You will probably...
It takes more of a power supply for steppers than you would think. The power is used in pulses so add some big caps to help supply the surge that the motors...
There should be a +12V and a -12V coming from that power supply. That would give you 24V. Give it a whirl, What's the worst that could happen? Moderator's note...
Ken I think you will burn up a whole lot a stuff if you use ANY voltage that is below common ground. (any negative voltage). I had used 2 separate ground bars...
... Then you did not have a decent breakout board! There SHOULD be proper isolation between the motor supply and the computer, either with opto-isolators at...
Yeah, I tried the +12 and -12V thing, but that didn't get me the voltage increase I was looking for because (i think) that the computer's power running through...
You will need more than 12V to power your motors and the -12V side of a puter power supply won't cut it because it's not designed to put out any current. You...
Try and get two, maybe three(check the servo rating) lead gel or car batteries. You'll now have sufficient voltage and lots of amps at your disposal to test ...
some systems use a rubber mounting rather than a shaft coupler. Otherwise you could use grommets, one on each corner. Put grommet on the plate, and mount screw...
I'll go against the grain here and vote for a Windows version as long as the timing is as stable as the DOS version. Why do I want a Windows version? Easier...
... I agree, but suggest that in moving to Windows, Dave would have to define a reason for folks to move away from Mach with it's large user base. Not an easy...
Thanks again for your help! I should reiterate that i get the same problem when the motors are spinning "in the air" with no load and seem to be topping off...
Not your problem I am sure but in some cases steppers do better with some load. The inertia interacts with the motor at some speeds and improves performance....
... It is all the same to me wether it be a DOS or a WIN version, as long as both are updated and finalised soon. I'm looking forward to THE solution for that...
I don't feel any need for a win version, my PC is on the network with eth so file transfer is as easy as it can be. (wireless, equally easy if you use a...
Folks: It's been a while since I've posted here. Sorry about that, I've had a pretty serious illness. I'm better now - looks like it was some sort of virus...
Dave, Take it it easy, we want you around for a while. A new DOS version would be nice but I've been using the last one for so long that I really don't notice...
Dave, Hope you get well soon and condolences on having to move. I am sure it will be a pita to get all your stuff (shop) moved and setup again. Good Luck ...
Turbocnc 5 for windows New updates New screen testing of axles moving New drive rapid speed for parallel port communication Optimizations in jog mode ...
Hi Great to have phase drive back. Thanks. Is there any way to test the latency and 10% jitter frequency, as was shown on the intro screen in the old version? ...
I am completely new to CNC machining,and recently I bought a CNC router kit from modularcnc,driver and stepper motors from xylotex and turbocnc software from...
Pure DOS, not a win box and no memory managers Check tcnc setup for correct parallel port and step/dir pins Cable with ALL of the wires going through Maybe a...
