General Mach Discussion / Re: All stepper motors run on their own when spindle is turned on
« on: January 31, 2013, 03:32:40 PM »
Thanks for your advice Brett
I can see that increasing the kernal speed will allow higher velocity on motor profile which I will look at later, thank you.
I have looked at the noise potential and have ensured all cables are well apart.
Narrowing down the issue I have noticed that the parallel port in the stepper motor control box causes the problem when the lead is attached even when other end is not attached to the PC. When this port is left empty the spindle will not affect the stepper motors which are still engaged.
This port works ok when jogging the stepper motors from Mach3 though.
Confused!!
