General Mach Discussion / Re: Alternative to Step-Dir.

So,
Something Like this would let me talk to the drive with CAN? My drive does support can.

General Mach Discussion / Alternative to Step-Dir.
« on: June 04, 2017, 06:32:53 PM »
Does Mach3 or 4 for that matter have any other motion control alternative to step-dir? I have used both Steppers and Servos but the both types of drives just use step-dir.  So, any other way like SPI or something like that?

please excuse my ignorance but it never hurts to ask.  I am implementing a new driver that is still in development and their Step-Dir communication as not yet been implemented.

Thanks
Bart

I would love to try that driver out.  I think XHC does not want you to be successful (As hard as they are trying to sell you their motion card :)) .  Let me know which hoops to jump through and I will do my best.

Thanks

I don't know if this is your problem but I had something similar going on and could not find it anywhere.  I knew it was my config because I did not make any hardware changes.
Check under "General Config" constant velocity parameters. Not the "Motion Mode" in the center of the screen (this usually should be set to CV Mode)  but the "CV Control" check boxes at the lower right.  I'm not sure exactly what I did there :) but whatever I did it worked.
It's worth a shot to take a look.  Let me know if this helps.
