Mach4 General Discussion / ESS Smoothstepper with CNC4PC C82 and C22 Mach 4

« on: May 05, 2023, 10:09:37 AM »

I want to install a joystick so I can jog my x and z axis. I am using the C22 for my MPG I just don't know what pins I should use for my jog joystick. Thank you in advanced.

OK, well you have the manual so just need to read it...

I read it but I am not seeing anything on if it has isolated mains protection.

It has Optoisolated input signal PWM. And yes the Documentation isn't so good. I did attach the manual if that would help.

Thank you

I have a brushless spindle motor and I want Mach 4 to control it. I have a Warp9 ESS Smooth Stepper with a CNC4PC C82 Board and a C89 Board. How could I do it using the board it came with?

How can I transfer my settings from one computer to another with out losing what I have done so far? I want to be able to transfer everything and start mach 3 and it is ready to run.

Thanks Nathan

Thank You Rich. I am doing everything in MM's. Also I just bought a 48v power supply to run with the drivers. I have 2 SFU1605 Ball Screws. The x axis at 600mm and the y axis at 350mm and 1 400mm SFU1204 Ball Screw for the z axis. Of coarse that is the size of the ball screws but the travel is smaller.

y axis (Which was turned downed to 350mm).

General Mach Discussion / Newbie needs some help! Stepper Motor Tuning and Setup.

« on: December 29, 2016, 09:33:49 AM »

I need some help with my tuning of stepper motors. I have the excel file I seen on here to do the calculations but not very clear on what I need to put into Mach 3.

Here is the link of what I have as a kit, http://www.omc-stepperonline.com/3-axis-31nm439-ozin-nema-24-stepper-motor-m542t-driverr-kit-for-cnc-router-p-305.html
I also have 2 SFU1605 Ball Screw and 1 SFU1204 Ball Screw.

I need high torque for the stepper motors because I am cutting aluminum and I have a vise that is heavy. If I tune it for faster speeds I can't even move the x and y axis with the vise on it.

I need some help with the calculations. Should I run half current or full current? I am at a loss.

Thank You Nathan
