Title: Charge pump pmdx 131
Post by: wnevels on June 08, 2007, 08:41:09 PM

I was trying to finally hook up the charge pump and pin 17 keeps oscillating high to low at about 1 HZ
works fine when i first start up then i close and reopen Mach and it starts oscillating

Dont really know what could be going on but kind of sounds like something might be interfering with the charge pump output from the computer, have a look and see if any programs are running in the background.

I am having the same problem. What did you do to fix this problem?

I just sent pmdx a support request.  Which may or may not be answered.  As much as i like PMDX boards the support is lacking i'm still waiting on a answer from about a year ago.

I sent PMDX support an email late yesterday afternoon and by mid morning Steve Stallings had called to discuss the problem with me. Seems it may be a hardware issue and he asked me to return it to them for upgrading. He said at kernel speeds higher than 25kHZ the problem would get worse. And it did. I will have to wait till I have it back to see if the upgrade fixes the problem.

I have been looking for more charge pump info. The Mach3 docs tell of info on the home page but I cannot find a reference to it. Can someone please point me to the light? Thanks.
