rich,
I have been doing some testing and not getting anywhere. very slow cuts and accels make no difference. less than .001 inches of backlash.

Tweakie,
Enroute. i ploted the gcode points in autocad and they are correct.

rcaffin,
you would not see anything in a photo. the differences are about + or - .015 inches.

Thanks,
bill

Tweakie,
I am rotating the file in my g code software. I also plotted the g code points into autocad to ensure they were correct.

Rich,
A circle does the same thing. Small and large on the same sides.

Thanks,
Bill

Is there any way I can just pay with a CC? I have problems with paypal.
I am an OEM.
cell phone 972-897-2415
email1 ; oelklaus@computerizedcutters.com
email2; bill_oelklaus@yahoo.com

I am at the end users site and need help now.

The below info is from the yahoo group. Just for info.



I had the machine set to exact stop. This router will run any one axis at 1350
inches per minute at 1/2 G acceleration. When I ran this test the router was
only running at 100 in/min. I would think if it was a rounding issue at some
point on the diamond it would be the correct size.

I am working on a router that has a problem making diamond shapes correct. If a square is cut along just x and y moves the sizes are even. If the same square is rotated 45 deg, 2 sides are long and 2 sides are short. The long sides are on opposite sides of the square and so are the short sides. I need help with this bad.
Thanks,
Bill

Graham,

It tells me " Cannot load first file "
Exactly how do you put the m98 and file to call

Graham,
It just ignores the g4 pauses. That is why I started using sleep commands. I tried it anyway and it did not pause at the g4 commands.
Thanks for the suggestion and I will gladly try anything. I have 2 machines to get out at the end of next week and both have a pokeys on them.

Scott,
I have 27 buttons and  a proportional joystick on the pokeys. After running the program nothing works on the pokeys.
I also messed up and locked the pokeys. How do I unlock it?

PoKeys / program causing pokeys to quit
« on: August 10, 2010, 07:46:23 PM »
I have a small program that runs when a button is pushed. Every time I run this program the pokeys is no longer seen. Here is the program. Any ideas?

SetUserLED (1220, 1)
ActivateSignal(Output3) 'turn on chiller
Sleep (2000)
ActivateSignal(Output2) 'turn on spindle
Code "S18000"
Sleep (120000)
Code "S27000"
Sleep (120000)
Code "S36000"
Sleep (120000)
DeActivateSignal(Output2) 'turn off spindle
Sleep (10000)
DeActivateSignal(Output3) 'turn off chiller
SetUserLED (1220, 0)
