General Mach Discussion / Re: Slaved stepper not moving the same amount???
« on: August 30, 2014, 04:01:09 PM »
Ok, since no one offered any further ideas...
I changed the breakout board for a spare that I had.
Now when I move eitherstepper motor via the DRO a certain distance and back
it returns to the same location with either stepper motor...
The left and right motors are within 0.020 of each other in a move of 1 inch and
when returning to 0.000 measure on the dial indicator 0.000 repeatably.
Thus, I believe that something was wrong with the other Breakout board...
Not sure what, but it was not repeatable at all.
Hopefully further testing will show more progress.
Best Regards,
Preston
