General Mach Discussion / Delayed axis movement
« on: October 29, 2010, 08:17:59 PM »
Hello guys:
Newbie on board...I've done some searching of different discussions, but am unable to find any similar to my problem. I'm trouble shooting an issue with my homemade (leadscrew) router. I when I say newbie, I'm not kidding!!
When I use the arrow keys on my computer to move my X and Y axis, initially I get a delayed start of movement. I get a loud hum, then start of the axis. The delay is maybe 1/2 second or so. Then the axis runs normally. If I use the arrows fast (back and forth on either axis) there is no delay in change of direction. But if I wait 10-15 seconds, then start axis movement, I get that darned delay.
I'm trying to figure out if this is a software issue or hardware issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
