Title: Config/Motor Turning
Post by: JungleStreetRecords on March 27, 2011, 01:46:19 AM

This portion seems incomplete.

Can you throw in Steps Per Revolution, lead screw TPI, Inches per minute,  Additional acceleration rate.

I can't find accuracy with the way its set up right now. You just have it listed as Steps Per. Steps per what? meter, yard or mile?

Ah yes. don't forget to add Microstep to it too.

so it would be like:

StepsPerRev: 200, leadscrew TPI: 32, MicroStep:16, TravelRate:0.30" per minute, acceleration rate:1 to 100% 

this way accuracy would be higher.

Also, allow people to enter in their own Kernel rates in the config ports and pins. The kernel rates posted are not compatible mathematically with my hardware.

Don't understand your comment.  ???
The kernel rates have to do with Mach's interface with Windows operation.

You will need Ms Excel to use the calculator.
