General Mach Discussion / Mach3 Spindle output variation
« on: December 06, 2017, 09:07:15 AM »
Hey Forum,
I have some issues regarding the spindle output of my computer via paralell port connection.
Most of the times my machine works just fine, but from time to time i gat an error that i dont seem to be able to recreate on purpose and the problem usually stops after a various number of restarts.
Im using Mach3 on benezan triple Beast controller for my lasercutter.
The Spindle output (Pin 1 on parallel port) seems to drop in voltage to weird values. i already testet teh controller and its not gcode related, as the problem continues when i hit the controlls manualy. The Voltage (i use PWM signal to control the intensity of the laser ray) ot the declared pin jumps from 0 to 2 volts, alltough it should be 5 (at 100% intensity)
The values i have set in spindle setup are,
Declare the M§ and M5 command to output 1
x use Spindle motor
x PWM Control
PWM Base Freq. = 45
Minimum PWM = 10%
all the oteh boxes are unchecked
Did anyone ever have similar problems?
