You can only edit the script IF you open the script with the "Edit Button Script" under operator.

sorry about that

General Mach Discussion / Re: Unsolicited Pauses Between G00 and G01 Commands?

« on: April 12, 2007, 12:04:32 PM »

Ryan,
We must stop after we do a rapid. and I don't think that the pause is as great as 1/3 of a sec... if it was that long I would be bitching about it! There are many problems that will happen if we start doing CV with the rapid moves

I think the pause is not as long with the G100... (I could be wrong)

Please keep your FRO lower then 125% and I think you will have no trouble.
Could you please try Sherline mode for your low speed moves and tell me if that helps
Thanks

Can you see the LED's change on the breakout board? Do you have the charge pump setup? And could you please post your XML?

Thanks

You need to redo your motor tuning settings. You have the X axis set to a MaxVel of 100 IPM and you can't get to that speed at 25KHz. You can only get to 75IPM, so the Calcs that Mach3 was doing was based on the 100IPM and not the 75 that it can do max...

If you tune your motors you should be good to go

thanks

Output one may be setup to work with your spindle... so turn on the spindle and see if the LED turns on. you can change the settings under the ports and pins

The Spindle speed may be getting set in the Gcode file "S1000" or it could be the minimum speed of the spindle

Hope that helps
Brian
