General Mach Discussion / Re: Compatibility Test Diagnostics Failed !

The PoKeys57E board is interesting with the price. But I should make some cables modifications, and figure out how it work and reflect how to connect all pin...  
Is it compatible with my driver spindle (step/dir, pwm, on/off), with my old PC? 

I think the documentation/specification are not very clear... ie: "3-axis 25 kHz or 8-axis 125 kHz Pulse engine"   Warp9: "Up to 4 MHz" with 6 motors and spindle.

OK I think Warp9 is interesting. UC300ETH or UC400ETH are they driving the spindle as well?
Why to have 2 or 3 parallel port?

...and Mach3 will work with a Smoothstepper even if the pulse are floating or unstable?

Same result with version .066

I think the best solution is to invest on a Smoothstepper.

What is better USB or RJ45?

General Mach Discussion / Compatibility Test Diagnostics Failed !

« on: April 21, 2017, 04:00:41 AM »

Hello,

I would like to replace the PC for my CNC with an AMD Athlon64 3800+  instead of 2400+

But I encounter some issues during the milling. So, I ran the "Compatibility Test Diagnostics" and the result is an unstable pulse rate.  "Pulsing too Slow" or "Pulsing too Fast".

I already tried to format the PC and re-install windows XP 32bits and Mach3 043.066 with many different BIOS parameters . Same result, I don't know what is the problem.

Please could you help me?

Thank you
Patrick
