Here is a video of our second Beta site
You can see why it needed speeded up
I will get a video of the faster version soon
Our goal was to get it to 2.25 sec, it is now running at 1.5 sec with safe motor accel and speeds.
Thanks again everyone
Jack

WoW - The fake motor drives A,B and C really worked!!!!!
I am so excited.
Thanks soo much John and Tweakie
You guys are the greatest

It took a lot of playing around
They only worked when the fake drives were using G90,
I use G91 for my program and they wouldn't work
so I changed back and forth

The time improved from 2.9 sec to 1.6 sec which is GREAT!!-way more than I expected

If you would Email me your addresses I Will send a little something

Hi
One more help needed
I want to set up the 2nd Parallel port, can't find any instructions - INput setup etc
I have win 7 with a smoothstepper
Are there any other commands to fire solenoids beside the M commands?
You guys are so helpful to a mechanical guy, who has to learn the logic and electronics

thanks so much
I have been running Mach3 for full size mill and lathe for many years
