General Mach Discussion / Setting up a change of computer to run Mach3
« on: June 05, 2013, 04:08:52 AM »
Hi,
I am wanting to set up another computer to run mach3 for my CNC router (stepper driven).
The computer that was running my machine is giving me trouble on boot up.
I have aquired another computer to run the machine.
Now the problems I have with this machine are that I cannot get the steppers to run "sweetly" like they were with the old computer.
I have copied the XMl file to the new machine and have manually checked the settings multiple times to make sure they are the same as the original.
I have also tried multiple settings other than the original for the motors, but am unable to get the steppers to sound as I feel they should.
The original computer specs:
AMD Athalon 1.1 GHz 1.5GB RAM
Pulse Frequency 25376 Steady
Driver Test...System Excellent
Pulses per sec 24406 - 24605
New Computer:
Pentium 4 3.06GHz 2.99GB RAM
Pulse Frequency 24789 - 24811
Driver Test....System Excellent
Pulses per sec 24941 - 25022
OS Windows XP
Cheers....Kym
