General Mach Discussion / Re: N00b - DRO innacurate / calibration

So you'd say I'm good to go and start playing?
I'd appreciate any pointers to stuff I need to learn!

One step at a time, wahey!  ;)

Things are starting to come right! The lead screw pitch is indeed 4mm and my motor tuning is now set to;
X-397.186 - 800 - 200 - 5 - 5
Y- 397.4377 - 800 - 200
Z- 399.002 - 200 - 100

Attached are a couple of pictures. One is showing how it cut before we fixed things, and the other shows what it's doing now. Much, much better, but could still do with some fine-tuning I think

It moves now, but the calibration is so far out. Tell it to move 50mm and it travels the whole length of the bed and hits the stop...

Going to re-install and then input the setup you screen shot for me.

Still no movement I'm afraid. I took a screen shot of the Mah3 folder, maybe I didn't delete something I was meant to when uploading that profile you sent?

Hey Tweakie, thanks for taking the time on this. Really appreciate it.

I'm not getting any movement at all. The ports and pins weren't selected and even after that still nothing. The DRO says its moving, but no movement on the router.

Thanks for the info Tweakie and Craig.
The PC tower is pretty old, and this router has been running off of it before it came into my possession. There is wood dust all over the router etc.
So here is the Mach profile you requested, and a couple of extra pics just to show my setup, perhaps it will shed some light...?

So I just wanted to get this machine up and running for a bit of fun, but it is rapidly turning into this huge thing and I'm not sure I should be jumping into this project, apart from the fact I just spent $170 on Mach3...

Please remember once again that I have no clue what I'm doing.
Can that T-D 3 Axis controller be replaced by the DDMMV2.1 and Mach3 Interface Boards? Or will I need some stepper drives on top?
I figured those two board would let me use a laptop with XP on it, but when I run the driver test the graph is just all black, and nothing happens with the 'special driver'. I saw in a different thread something about a smooth stepper board?

kinda regretting this a bit now but I have laid out the cash so I had better make use of it...

One thing I  have noticed when moving the table around is that you can hear the motor bug out occasionally. I was wondering if the pulsing from the computer could have anything to do with the axis' going out of calibration?

OK, understood. Thanks again!
I mentioned in my first post that I have a box full of stuff and I don't really know what most of it is. If you think I would be better off asking these questions on a non-Mach forum, please point me to your recommendation.

There are the stepper motors on the left, 60BYGH301B 31,Nm. A bunch of limit switches and a Mach3 manual control box
The boards, three of the same: Mach3 interface board BL-Mach-v1.1 D302. The one in packaging: DDMMV2.1
The two aluminium boxes. Neither of them has any kind of identification on them as to what they are. They do have information about the inputs and outputs.
The boxes with the vents. One with the lead coming out of it: Sunpower SP-240-24. The other one: AC->DC S-120-24

I can look the majority of it up, but its just those two aluminium boxes with no ID I really need help with.

Would you suggest I have a go at swapping out these motors?
