FAQs / Re: Mach 3 stepper control issues

« on: June 26, 2017, 04:32:30 AM »

In Mach3 Config / Ports & Pins / Motor Outputs try changing both Step and Direction signals to Active Low.

Do you have +5V connected to the Gecko drive ?

Do you have the charge pump enabled on pin 17 ? (Config / Ports & Pins / Outputs)

Can you reset (get Mach3 out of) Estop ?

Hi Jammerm,

If it’s any help, here is the CAD/CAM generated toolpath (which includes the tool  radius offset) to use with a 1mm diameter cutter.
The datum is the centre, material thickness 1.5mm and overall the dovetile is approx. 50mm diameter.

Use Notepad (or similar) to check your generated Gcode file.
Does it show a Z- depth of greater than you are expecting ?

Should the velocity, acceleration, etc numbers (of the two identical motors) on the Motor Tuning Config pages be the same?

They must be the same.

This problem could possibly be caused by electrical noise. Try increasing the Debounce Interval (Config. / General Config.) to 4000 and see if this makes a difference.

(my apologies that I do not speak your language).
