Hi Rusty,

Wow those Velocity figures you have been using are high.

Perhaps try;  Velocity 2000 and Acceleration 300 and see how that goes.

Hi Arnie,

I am pleased you have the speed controller built and working.

For MicrochipPIC programming and because it's quick and easy I use the PicBasicPro compiler  http://melabs.com/ (using a compiler does not exactly produce the most efficient code but as said it is quick and easy).

Hello

Thank you. I'll test it. The plugin engraving laser operates m11p1?

Bernd

Hi Bernd,

The plugin doesn’t operate using the M11/M10 calls as such.

If it’s any help I have compiled some details on the plugin’s operation in the pdf document here;   http://tweakie.byethost10.com/Engraving.zip

Hi Rusty,

Reducing the feed-rate is not quite the same thing so try reducing the Velocity and Acceleration by 50% as suggested and report back on what happens regarding loosing position.

Hi Rusty,

Sounds like you are loosing steps.
To resolve the problem just one step at a time ( no punn intended)...
Try reducing your Velocity and Acceleration settings ,for each axis, by 50% (in motor tuning) and save the changes -  and then see if the problem persists.

Hi Valerie,

Welcome to the forum.

To check your settings for each axis (Steps per Unit) go into the 'Settings' screen and click 'Set Steps per Unit' - follow the on-screen instructions for calibrating each axis. (the Mach3 manual also gives details  http://www.machsupport.com/help-learning/product-manuals/ )
