General Mach Discussion / Controller Frequency Setting
« on: October 15, 2012, 09:32:52 PM »
Just getting started and noticed a problerm.... while in MDI and dumping in coordinates and the wait time for actuation to begin is 1min+ followed by an error code about SS frequency being too high for computer to understand.   Message recommends lowering to 1khz or 500 mhz.   I lowered it al the way to 250 and got long waits and proper motion, anything higher and error messages......

What's reasonable response time?

Thanks

General Mach Discussion / Stepper Homing Issue
« on: October 10, 2012, 06:25:30 PM »
Gentlemen, Newb here and and advice is required.   I've recently wrapped up a retrofit of an EMCO PC 50 Mill with new steppers, Smoothstepper, Gecko and Mach3.

I've got Y & Z axis manually actuating and homing perfectly.

The X axis, under repeated manual actuation (left/left/left) will intermittently change direction.   Likewise manually actuating in the right direction multiple times the stepper intermitently reverses direction.   Changing around motor leads moves the problem around.

When Mach tries to Home in the X axis it sit's and growls....

Thoughts?

Cheers!
