General Mach Discussion / My CNC build
« on: March 08, 2009, 05:59:14 PM »
Hi folks!
I have just registered my copy of Mach3, LazyCAM Pro, and Mill add-ons. I have been using Mach3 to drive my home made Router table. I am using a Mechatronics 4 axis driver board, and NEMA 34 Vexta PK296-01AA stepper motors 24VDC 2a per phase Bi-polar wired serial. I have been through MANY frustrating hours of attempting to tune the motors in Mach3, and switching the DIP switches on the Mechatronics board between Full, Half, Quarter, and Eighth step and STILL cannot get the motors to drive the machine reliably without losing steps. Can anyone help with DIP switch settings, and Step, Velocity, and Acceleration rates which will yield reliable results? For a look at my machine build, please see the MYCNC.PDF Any help would be greatly appreciated!
