General Mach Discussion / Re: Spindle Speeds x3cnc
« on: October 10, 2009, 10:17:11 AM »Hi Ray,
As I am not conversant with electronics's will you please explane to me what marginal hardware Is ?
It has been suggested to me at our model club that I fit a smooth stepper willthis help or cure the problem ?,
If you have any suggestions (not rude) I will listen and absorb your comments.
My B est Regards,
Melv.
There is no reason to believe a SmoothStepper would do anything at all to address your spindle speed problem. Somewhere in there you have a board or some logic that takes the STEP/DIR or PWM output generated by Mach3, and converts it to an analog speed control voltage to the motor speed controller. It is that circuit that is not operating as it should.
