General Mach Discussion / Knocking X axes, whats going on ??

« on: July 16, 2018, 01:02:41 AM »

Hello again everyone

I would like to Thank everyone for helping me out with this headache i mead project

machine was working fine, now all of a sudden the X axis knocks

you are moving the X axis and y axis at the same time, no problem until you change Y direction and knock
you can start, stop Y in the same direction and no problem, the second you change it direction X axis knocks
you can play with Z axis and every thing is fine, only with Y axis

What can be wrong ?? I am using 2 parallel ports one has the 4 motor and the other has everything else,
and them Stepper drives with the elephant on it

Thanks again
