Digital read out problem
I’m running a home built CNC router. It is a typical stepper motor set up. I use Mach3 controls program and VCarve CAM program. Everything was working just fine. All of my out puts are right, motor tuning and steps are correct. When I design engrave a project with Vcarve everything comes out to scale. In other words everything works except one thing. The digital readout for my XYZ axis is incorrect. When my machine moves one inch the DRO shows it moving 25 inches. If I send the machine back to zero the machine goes right back to its original position. The only thing I can see that is wrong is the DRO is out of scale.
I don’t remember making any changes, maybe I did. The DRO just seem to be out of scale for no good reason. Is there a way to set the DRO back to the right scale? Any and all help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Chris
