Check motor tuning. It seems tat your acceleration is too high.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Spindle Relay Configuration Questions

Switching CD side of the spindle would be a disaster for a relay.
The killer of relay contacts in DC switching is electrical arc. It can destroy contact quickly.
DO NOT trust what is written on relay regarding DC switching. Relays do not have arc extinguisher.

@reuelt:
Lets not argue anymore, OK

I have designed my BOB that KILLS everything when there is no CP signal.
Will check the freq of CP when I visit workshop and with different kernel speeds. You just made me curious

When Windows 7 boots up, it usually INITIALIZE the parallel port.

This was your first sentence, so external motion controllers are out of scope of your writing (I guess )
As far as I know, CP works even at 25kHz kernel speed. Maybe that charge pump is disabled in demo mode together with other demo limitations.

Even when using parallel port, iti is advisable to use BOB. I made one, some years ago, when I replaced RZNC 050(I guess 2) with a computer running Mach3, with charge pump that was in controll of ALL possible outputs.
So, registry tweak is OK but hardware is hardware
And that computer was/is running Win XP.
Another machine will soon receive charge pump safety (chineese BOB will be modified).

What would prevent a spammer from flooding the New Member request bay ?

Nothing, but the spammer will stay in "noman's land"
It is quite easy ti spot the spammer. There are a lot of YT videos how to make a script that will flood New Member request bay.

Watch this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtNYzv8gLbs

One of the things that is visible is NameSurname (without space) user name combination, name with a couple of numbers attached as username, ...

With such weak Captcha, it is easy to write a python script to flood a forum.
Indication to me that this method was used is thet user NameSurname were concatenated
Of course, for this kind of flooding VPN is necessity.

VB and the development of wizards / Re: A faster [REF ALL HOME] script for MACH3

You can put units checking in your script ti make it universal

Code: [Select]

If GetOEMLED(801) Then
  Code "G53 G0 Y1"
Else
  Code "G53 G0 Y25"
End If
If you are giving someone a solution and you do not know the native units of that persons machine setting.
