General Mach Discussion / Nema 23 1.8deg motor tuning

« on: May 21, 2015, 09:43:14 PM »

Hello Guys!

I'm really new to all this cnc stuff and i want to know how i calculate me step size so my machine jogs 1 unit.

I have a nema 23 steppers (200step) set at 1/8 step and its fitted on a 5/8-10 rod.

I'm guessing 200x8=1600 but after how do i calculate the rod ? 1600x10=16000?

If i want to make it jog 1inch for example what missing in my calculation?

Thanks.

General Mach Discussion / NEED HELP motor sound but no movement

« on: May 18, 2015, 07:03:32 PM »

Hello!
I'm building a controller with 3 single axis tb6560 drivers, the breakout board that came along and 24v 6.5 amps powersupply to control 3 nema 23 185oz/inch 2a

Every thing seems to be working but when i configured mach3 and tried to make the motors jog and the motors sound like they are moving but they aren't.

I'm thinking it might be a configuration that isn't right but i'm kinda new to cnc and don't know what to change.

If any info is missing let me know.

Thanks,
Simon
