Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Backlash not applied during manual JOG?
« on: January 03, 2016, 08:39:59 PM »
DazTheGas,

so I'm a bit confused then.    I thought backlash was compensated in the Motor tuning variable in Mach?  or Does the motion controller do the compensation?  or do the two work together?

Finally any idea on when the new plug in will be available?

Thank you
pete

I've just built a new G0704, using Mach 4.

Here is a link to my backlash test
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7IRZwlMOrbxVGVEaHJCZzQ5Ymc/view?usp=sharing

As you can see in the video I can cycle 1 inch off zero and back to zero with no drift.    When I approach zero with my indicator zero my X axis and back off zero, there is backlash present during my jog moves.   The DRO shows movement, and no table movement.  I expect backlash values to be applied to Jog moves as well as MDI commands.

Am I missing something?  am I crazy?  shouldn't manual Jog moves be backlash compensated as well?

Thank you
Pete
