General Mach Discussion / Re: Loosing Coordinates
« on: August 22, 2008, 08:12:52 AM »
Hi

Since our last disgussion , we have decided to move the milling machine to another computer ( computer #2 ) wich are not that busy , but now we have other problems. On the new computer the software is not fully functional. You are able to load GCode and so forth , But the program does not want to run the GCode, nor does it respond to jogging commands . Upon loading the software onto computer #3 , everything seems to be working fine , although we'd like to get the software working on computer #2.

Computer #2 is running at 1.7GHz and has got 736 Mb of RAM. We have never used this computer's LPT1 and I'm wandering what effect
a fualty printer port might have on Mach 3 operation. We havn't got anything else to test the printer port with.

I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at there , but it does seem to jump around a bit and I have seen some noisy bits. If there is a problem with the driver , how could this be resolved ?

I've done the Driver Test , but the machine is still loosing coordinates.

Where do I find the driver test ? I'm a bit new to this program.

Hi

Turned off just about everything. But if anything the problem has just got worst.

Hi

I disabled a surveilance system wich was running on the same computer and found better results , But when I slowed the machine down to half the speed of wich it was running at , the deviatiation was much worse.

We're running on XP 2002 with a Pentium 4 CPU @ 3.00GHz and it's got 1 Gig RAM. The stepper motors are from Motion King ,
Model Nr. : 23HS0405

What about a network connection ? Could that be a problem ?

Hi

We are having a problem where the machine looses it's coordinates during operation. After a run of the program it is normally out by 1mm
in both the X & Y axis. This also varies in magnitude aswell as direction. Is there something that needs to be calibrated ?
