FAQs / Older MAXNC-10, no jog only steps
« on: January 25, 2014, 11:50:53 AM »
I have a pre-2004 MAXNC-10 (which means an older controller board) and when I did the setup as shown here ftp://machsupport.com/XMLs/Mach%203%20and%20the%20MaxNC%2010%20Open%20Loop.pdf . When I press a movement key on the keyboard or click the button on the screen I see movement. If I press and hold for either I see that same movement in the beginning, but then there is a lesser tone from the motors and they don't turn.
Read that if you try to give the motors too much they will not move, I have tried moving the velocity from 120 to 50 and the acceleration from 10 to 5. That changed the tone of the motors, but not the lack of a continuous jog.
I am doing this on the demo version (2.0 of M3) to start. I ran the roadrunner program and compared to the DRO's it appeared that the table was moving at a much smaller scale. Not sure if I was seeing things, but if it helps, I thought I'd mention it.
