General Mach Discussion / Re: Very odd rapids stepper motor stalling problem
« on: February 24, 2013, 06:57:57 PM »
I am not sure if the way Backlash is done has been changed but I do know that at one point in time Brian was talking about sending a very fast rate to the axis to take up the lash, much faster than the accel/velocity in motor tuning. The theory was that as the motor had no load of the axis then it could do that without risk of stalling. I think that is the way it is done in the Smoothstepper but as said not sure if it was changed to do it that way if using the parallel port.
