Same as you.  What if I use my original install disk and uninstall the current version?  I didn't up grade and it was running fine.  Then all of a sudden it started acting up.  What do I do?

Here is the code.  I have used this program for a year with no problems.  Now it adds a spike to the circles.

FAQs / Problem circles
« on: April 09, 2012, 11:36:50 PM »
Hi all...
Not sure how to word my question to make it less confusing.   I have a program that I have been running on my Taig mill for years.  I made zero changes to it and set up to machine out some parts yesterday.  Upon a dry run I noticed it was entering the circle via an entry circle, then immediately doing a rapid quarter circle the other direction, then rapidiing another quarter circle back to almost the start point and then proceeding with the .5" circle it was supposed to cut.  I sent this out to Kurt at Taig and he plugged it in to his computer at Taig and it ran fine.  I have uninstalled the Mach software and reinstalled it all an my license and got the same results.

Thanks in advance!
Bill

Sorry for being inconsistant in my subject and post!  I have steppers not servos.  Here is a list of Keling equipment I have.  KL4030 drivers, 2100-30-4B stepper motors, C10 breakout board, 30V/9.7A power supply, and a 5V power supply.  I have double checked my wiring and calculated my motor tuning for the Mach setup.  I have set the dip switches for 1/4 stepping and 3.0 amps based on having a 1/2-20 double start screw.  I hope this helps.

Thanks again,
Bill

General Mach Discussion / Problem making my steppers turn
« on: February 15, 2012, 08:40:16 PM »
I have used mach 3 for many years on my taig mill.  I am in the process of building a new router and purchased a servo controller set from keling.  I have wired the set as best as I could figure using online videos, but cannot get the servos to actually turn.  When I press a direction key the servo vibrates but the shaft doesn't turn.  The guy at keling suggested I need to tune the motor.  I think I have done this but am not sure what he means.  Anybody with experience with this please let me in on the secret!

Thanks!
Bill Wolkan
