SmoothStepper USB / Re: Smooth Stepper & PoKeys55

« on: April 18, 2009, 02:36:09 AM »

Hi,

Victor:
I think You should put the SS in the nearest place with PC. USB has much greater frequency than Your Step/Dir signals, so USB can be very noise dependent.

I'm preparing almost same control setup, I mean operator panel with built in custom PC. I will put the SS into it, and put two LPT cables from panel to machine. I think this solution is much better.

PoKeys / Re: Pot and FRO problem using Pokeys

« on: April 16, 2009, 04:32:03 PM »

Thanks for respone Hood:)

Can You tell me which brain exactly You are using for limit FRO to 11%?

How it is possible that FeedHold works (stop motion) when the FRO is at 11%?
Lets assume: FRO over 100% works, feedhold works, but FRO says that override is at 11%. Am I right?

Lets say, it would be great to use SS and Pokeys without any additional brains, and have FRO working great.
Is Greg working on it now? Will be the new plugin released in some short time, or this is a "serious" problem?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Piotr

Thanks Hood:)

I really like to hear that new plug-in will be release.
I will test Pokeys analog alone, without SS, and see does the problem exist.

I will post the results later.

Regards,
Piotr

/Edit

I checked analog input without SS, but with parallel port.
It works great:)

So, We are waiting for new plugin, I suppose not only I have these problems:)

Regards and thanks for interest in my problem.

Thanks for fast reply.

First I checked in Pokeys soft, is the pot working properly. It works just fine, pot is brand new, measured with multimeter.

Ok, I will try to check the soft and plugin versions, but I downloaded them last week, I supose.

Has anyone other ideas?

thanks in advance!

PoKeys / Pot and FRO problem using Pokeys

« on: April 15, 2009, 04:07:14 PM »

Hi everyone,

I have set up my Pokeys, added 10k pot, and it works.

The problem is when FRO goes over 100%, e.g 134% (no matter) it flashes: once there is 100% for a short time, and then goes to 134%. This flashing is always when the FRO is set by pot over 100%. When the FRO is set under 100%, everything works fine. Note that Im using SS too.

I added in the brain also, as the manual says, ModIO:124 input (Im using 43th pin in Pokeys), formula (here Im able to adjust the FRO range), and terminated it to Feed Ovr-821.

I read all of the topic here, and still have no idea how to solve this problem.
All I found is solution for FRO which flashes around 100% value.

If someone could write any advices, please help...

Best Regards
Piotr
