FAQs / I have an IPM problem

« on: October 19, 2010, 12:04:10 PM »

I have a xylotex controler with 420 oz motors and a sony Vio with a 1.6 processor. So what is happening is that when I write a program to run 10 IPM the program only runs 9.3 IPM. I know that does not sound like much but if I write a faster program lets asy 18 IPM it runs 16.9 IPM. I have done some testing and taken the profile and put it on another machine and it runs fine. So can it be something with my PC? And if so what can I do to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
