General Mach Discussion / Re: Can't Install Mach3 on my PC

As soon as I changed to the second option all motors and spindle worked.

sounds good, nice to hear that it is working now

The only problems still are:
* The E_Stop button on the CNC controller doesn't work. (Only the one on the screen works)

figure out to witch Input the button is wired to, then check Config -> Ports&Pins -> Inputs

* None of the LED's on the diagnostics page light up when they should.

witch LED's do not work

* Spindle won't go above 8,000 RPM (Error msg comes up if you try to go higher and returns it to 8,000)

check Config -> Spindle Pulleys -> Pulley Number 4

Code: [Select]

DAC offset is 0.4v which is inline with other drives
that seems to be very high DAC Offset is normaly adjusted  by set Speed Zero and then adjust
Offset so much until Motor standstill.

try to set Pn146 to 0(hope this will affect acceleration too).

Code: [Select]

It seems i can get somewhere with P=3000, i=0, d=0,

a PID with I Zero is bad you have to have a I part, D part i would say in this case is not
necessary.

a PID with I Zero will allways go back and forth (swing).

ok,
regarding to you Information 320 stept/per  and you have a ballscrew with 5mm you have set up
your Motors in 1/8 microstep mode, and that is absolutly right.

do not know where the Information of 393.7 steps is comming from, your 320 steps/per mm are what
you have. Thats it.

you say you put MDI G0 Z-0.3238 , and Z-0.3226 appears on the Screen, think about the Dimension,
you are talking about, it is 0,0002mm.

realy i can not imagine, that is your Problem.

give us some Pictures/Manuals of what you are using.
without further Information it is like a walk in the dark.

to check for the port/Pins here is a good tutorial:

so you have buyed am metric ballscrew (RM1605 means 16mm Diameter 5mm pitch),
but want to use imperial Units.

so we have to do some calcs.
we microstepping 1600 steps per motorrevolution -> 5mm

so steps/per (motortuning) is:        25.4/5*1600 = 8128
for a test use:
velocity  60
acceleration 12

and make sure Config ->Select Native Unit is set to Inches (if you have to Change, restart Mach3)


@reuelt, do you have a Magic glas ball ?
