General Mach Discussion / Re: Spindle Speed Troubles

Hi, Katoh

This may be causing your Problem.

Check for a stable (locked in)  Pulse Frequency on the Diagnostic Page, It should show a value corresponding to your set hernial speed (25k, 25***, 45k, 44***),

If it's not stable your p-port output will vary during running of g-code and mouse movements, Causing your step-dir spindle output to vary your VFD output.

Look at the Optimization link for windows XP,  http://www.machsupport.com/downloads/XP_Optimization.txt

Do the item's one at a time, As you may not need all of them, May fix it.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hi, Fernando

In Config, General Config, Turning off the "Use Watch Dog" setting, should Help.

Hi, Hood

I'll try the DoOemButton (240) VB-code, Repeating the DoButton(2*) 3 times usually fixes it, But it shouldn't be needed, Something in .015 isn't updating properly.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Hood

Yes, Also with "ref all home" The 'Ref. x,y,z" just eliminates the VB DoButton(2*) code calls.

I haven't ever seen this on earlier ver's of Mach3, Testing on 2 computers that have tested many versions.

One computer has very stable Driver Test's and the other is multi use (not as stable).

Hi, All

This is a bazaar issue, with ver prior to .012-.015, M3 & M5 would Hang req. cyc start to proceed, But no Home/Ref axis Issues. It seems to be that Mach doesn't allow quite enough time to finish the DRO's updating fully. (no home sw's)

One other thing I've noticed after getting the Ref. to re-set Current Position to 0000 & Machine Position to 0000 and running some Test G-code. The Current & Machine Position will show a -0.0010 when finished. The initial Ref.error was +0.0010, Something isn't being Updated

I now others are having Some Similar Issues,  As Brian stated It's hard to fix something, If he can't duplicate it

Thanks,Chip

Hi, Jon

Try setting your X & Y Acceleration Values Higher in Motor tuning, This Value con often be higher than your assigned F speed setting.
