Hey Zelalous,
    McMaster carr has that too. Here is a link.

They have it all.

Good deal David,
     Mr. Duncan seems like a good man as he sent me a separate Charge pump to try. Let me know how yours works out. It's not on the top of my to do list, but would like to get it right eventually.

You're welcome Jim.
Good job chip. You must know those machines pretty good. "Target is locked". LOL

Just chatting,
     Good job on the dust collector. Conveyor brush strip works well also. I only post this because it took me about two days to find it in McMaster carr. I didn't know the name of it. I second the positive emotions about Mach. It is crazy good.

I have not seen this. But then again I'm pretty new. Can you get the machine to home?

Is this a closed case? Will you confirm that it is fine now and the error was caused by

interference from cad program minimised in tray bar.

?


Just trying to keep up.

Is it doing this while homing? What had you changed, if any thing when it started this? Any settings?

Hey David,
    I'm with you, I'd love to see the charge pump working as it should. The previous post is just a work around. I would try the switch and moving the jumper just to see if all the other problems go away. You could just move the jumper and jump across the 5v and en pins. I would do it in a way that I could remove the connection quick if I had too. If allways enabled, when your PC boots up, your machine can do silly things. Jump, coolant on, spindle on, etc. That is why I would have an enable switch even if the charge pump worked perfect.

Hey Trampas
In config, ports and pins you can set up more ports. I don't know about the docs., sure there is though.

Hey Yoda,
    Try slowing your vel. and accel. down some more in motor tuning. I would back these way down, ( you are pretty close though, I think ) and creep up until I got repeatability. Are you running in CV mode? What kind of tool are you running when it looses steps?
