Feedrate with SS and MSM problem

[tbyrd0918]

Dave,
  I'm having a problem with my feedrate not acting right.  I was using beta_5 and all was good.  I changed to beta_9 and Mach 3.043.019 and my Feedrate within the Gcode doesn't always work properly.  F3 runs 9ipm, F20 runs 20ipm,  F3 at 30% runs about 3ipm, F20 about 6ipm.  I looked to see what settings have been changed but can't find any. 1 out of 10 or 15 times F3 does run 3ipm and oddly F20 runs 60ipm!  Something strange is going on.  MDI seems to always be accurate.  any suggestions?

Hum,
I don't have an idea off the top of my head - I'll think about it a bit.
Feed rates are processed by Mach and so nothing immediately comes to mind that would impact this in MSM.

I'll ask Brian if anything else was changed in 3.43.19 that might be impacting this.

This might be related to the issue I reported about wrong feed rates with SS.  Brina thinks it has someting to do with the infor Mach gets back from SS.

To add to the previous post, I believe that Brian said the actual feedrates are correct, they're just displayed wrong. Test with a stopwatch and see if that's the case.

Yes Please test with a stop watch.. If you do a 8" move at 4 "/min it should take 2 min to make the move.. If that works out I think it is only the display. Please test this and I would also like to know if you are using a SS or the P Port.

Thanks
Brian

I am in fact using Smooth Stepper and the displayed rates are correct.

I have just updated to Mach3 ver19, and MSM Beta 9.  I had been unig 16 and Beta 5.  My feed rates are now running about 3 times the requested rate.  F20=F58  F19=F55.  The indicated rate is definatley correct IE it is actually running at the high rate.  I am using SS.  There was not a problem with the previous version.

After reading the above post I went and tested different feed rates.  F5=F14.7 indicated.  F10=F29.4 indicated and F20=58.7 indicated.  I tried rebooting and the results are the same.  Using SS.  This problem did not occur with ver16 of Mach and Beta 5 of MSM.

Iraqan,
Sounds like the exact same thing that I'm getting.  Maybe someone can figure it out.  I hate to go back a version!

Iragan,
Are you using a PP or a SS?
