General Mach Discussion / Motors keep adding steps
« on: March 08, 2018, 07:28:33 AM »
Obviously new to this but I have been trying to understand it all. I am at the got road runner to load and cycle though the program stage but the machine appears to be adding steps for all three axis. I did use the calibration and it is moving the proper distance through that, but it does not fix the problem. It just keeps working diagonally up to the corner, way off the piece.
It's been a long process to get this up and running. I bought an eBay CNC machine that ended up having a bad breakout board. I put a new board in and wired it (after lots of videos) and it seems to do everything it should but when I actually run it, it trails off. I have most likely done something I shouldn't have but can't figure it out. As my father would say "I don't even know, what I don't know".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
