I have been continuing to struggle trying to get a new G540 to work properly. Every time I think I got it I end up not even close.
For some unknown reason I am losing position on the Z. I tried tuning the motor down to a velocity of 25 and acceleration of 5 and nothing changed. On a 3d contour I am losing 0.2" of height in 10 minutes of running for some reason always gain height.
Also I have no idea why when I turn my shuttlepro dial real slow the DRO changes on the screen but the motor does not move (all axis). Once that happens I can crank the shuttlepro and the DRO responds but not the motor.
I tried updating the Shuttlepro driver. Tried a different version of Mach3 . Turned backlash on/off, CV on/off, enhanced plusing on/off.
I checked electrical connections. Mechanical connections. Ran the drive test. 1.8gz Pentium V, Geckco G540, Keling 48V PS, 2 pacsci motors and 2 generic 276oz Nema 23 motors.
I am lost on what to do or even try.
