Could you please do a driver test and see if there are large spikes on the graph.

Thank you

It should keep the data that you entered the last time you used the layer.. I will look to see if it is not updating

I have set up the drives in the past and got them to work   One problem that I have had on DynaMite 2800 is the plastic gears break... This is not from stripping the teeth off but a crack that will develop over time (even if you are not running the mill). So if you could please check the gear and be sure there are no problems.

I use the following breakout boards:

General Mach Discussion / Re: Using a stepper as a spindle motor

« on: June 23, 2006, 10:05:50 PM »

Look at it this way:
The Max speed (in the motor tuning) is the Max RPM of the stepper motor.

The Pulley settings tell the computer what speed it can do in each range (Like when you shift your car)

Is that any help?

Try running it in sherline mode (under the ports and Pins settings)
 I think it will run a bit better after that...
