It did the same thing on the flyout window.

General Mach Discussion / y axis moves randomly with arrow keys

« on: April 25, 2012, 05:25:07 PM »

Just replaced my computer.  Configure evertything.  All seems to work, except when I press the arrow keys for the y axis, the direction is random. 
Push the left key and it moves left.  Push the same key agian ang it moves right.  Both the left and right keys do this.  There seems to be no pattern to it.  Any clue?

Rewired and still the same problem.  Searched the forum more and found I should set debounce to 500 to 2000.  The 500 setting seems to have fixed the problem.  Should have searched better the first time. Would have saved me a lot of time.

I think its the cheap wire I used for the limit switch wiring.  Time to rewire them. yuk

The stepper motor wires are shielded and ground at one end.  I have nowhere to ground the other end.  The limit wires are not shielded.

Looks like the 0.02V is enough to keep it from resetting.  If I bypass all the limit switches (and all the limit switch wiring running in the cable carrier) everything works fine.  I guess I'm getting some bleed from the stepper wiring.

I did that.  When closed, I read 0.02 volts.  When open I read 4.99 volts.
Also, when closed, there are no limit or estop LEDs lit in the configuration window.  When opened, they light.
Is it normal for the 3 LEDs to be lit at all times (see before picture)?  Could that be it?

No, switches are working properly.

Using limit switches as estop.
