LazyCam (Beta) / Re: Lazy Cam pain

« on: October 04, 2008, 11:09:33 AM »

Hi RICH,
yes you are right about addons and mach3  and Lazycam it is really fine program and of course a big job behinde. Im´m sorry if you take the critique personally.
I se you are working hard to make Lazycam to work.    If the power from the begining been have start say as 50/50%  on mill/turn software in mach mybe we
have hade another situation today. But of caurse if we only are a few members how have a turn even I can understand the situation.
About pay I have no shoise becourse I can´t make any programming.  I´m not critiquel ..okey I was but I think I was missunderstanding when I wrote my reply 
Yesterday is over, perhaps even I can make some small thing to make Lazycam more confortable in future.

one more question from an old tired man. 
If I drive (1) SS from  (2) USB    is the working line  to drive any stepmotors as before, with a (3) breakoutboard  like C11.
Have I understod anything or it is as usual..........

SS, BOB, Step Dir, backlash.   The technical is hard to understand but even english.
I think a postprocessor to pour english in top and outgoing Swedish in bottom.......

General Mach Discussion / My lathe move 0.01mm to Z+ every time after return

« on: September 15, 2008, 07:41:07 AM »

Fine Jimpinder,

Well I have a card named breakoutbord  C1 from cnc4pc.  It is optoisolated yes.  Okey I now the eletronics behind the card -the VFD is from -80
and possible not so fast  as a new one. But in this case this part was out of work becaurse the spindel is not moving. 
I have a brand new pc to drive Mach but I have this step fault even before I change the pc.
It was great if any other person how have the same card and is in same situation can verify this extra step.

I have just order a new card like C11 from cnc4pc but have not made any test yet.  I´m not very well on electronics, I most take the time to do
all right becaurse I have only one chance 
Intressting to here about slow timing between the circuit.  In config/port and pins and about the Kernel speed.  Have this any thing to do with
with the speed between the circuit. I think I drive the new pc at 60khz.   Ok, before I will start to change the card I like to read if any other have
same experience.

General Mach Discussion / My turret move 0.01mm to Z+ everytime after return the way

« on: September 14, 2008, 08:55:35 PM »

I have test everything.  From Bachlash, and shuttel down to 0.05 in Generál config, Well everytime I return X or Z    like this step 1.000 and send this comand  G01 F50 Z-1 Enter.

A coments, if I drive 1.000 and drive, say 100 times in same direktion, the display shoud wiev 100.000mm  When the same procedure goingback the result is 100.000
The stuped thing is when I change the direction.  All change give 0.01mm always in Z+  or if I drive X this is always 0.01mm in direktion X+
I have test and use Backlash. After that i TEST Motor Tuning. I was test to schange the motorstep from my default 200 to 180 to 220 but that was no solusion.

Anybody ho have any thing like this. Could it be some puls from card when I change the direktion. I have even seen, if I have set home X and Z the display wiev 0.000 on both X and Z. 
 No my gentleman, if I klick on Zero Wold X or  sero wold Z I can hére a click and and the support are move 0.001mm but the display are in same as after homing. 0.000
Ok, if I klick 10 times on etch Z and X  both move + 0.001  +  x 10= 0.010.   Is my cable unsisolated or what are you thinking abut.  I need help folk.

Yes you are right Hood this mode is really fast, but when I move from multistep to velocity Only  one turn give only 0.329mm in same step 1.000
If i move one turn in multistep and step wide is 1.000  one turn is 100mm but it takes lot of time. Moving was going more
then 15 second -after I was finnished.
