General Mach Discussion / Re: Stepper motors are still going at the incorrect speed. Need help with Mach

Yes, g-code looks fine.
Probably some problem on you xml, or on the instalation.
you can find the xml on the following directory
C:\mach3\
There are files for each profile with the xml extension, for example mach3mill.xml

What about the use of steppers and encoders?

Thanks for your reply,
I have read the G-Rex manual, and its a bit too technical for the average Joe, i Saw the video tutorial, and the only thing i could get from there is that it would let you run at more than 45KHz, and that you need something called a Rabbit?
Anyone else know more than we do?

Mach3 and G-Rex / What is a G-rex?

« on: December 15, 2005, 07:48:25 PM »

Hello,
What exactly is a G-Rex, If I have already a control box with power supply, 3 201´s, campbells break out board and steppers, what benefits would a g-rex bring, what else is required to opperate?
Does this device incorporate the use of encoders with steppers? or is this the comented unstallable stepper?
Hope anyone can help
Regards
Fernando

Apparently that was the problem
It doesnt like running in simulation, but it works fine on a cycle run.
Sorry for the inconvenience

I am a licensed user for mach 3,
Ill attach the posted code, and a screenshot of what the toolpath looked like when simulated, I dont know if the problem is that i am basing this error on a simulation of the toolpath rather than an actual cycle run.
thanks

Thanks Brian,
A post from art on the yahoo group mislead me to think it was a complete version
Quote:
"Thanks to Brian for the great explanation (ande the wizard itself, which
the newfangled guys have released as a free general release). Great video,
if you do multipass, watch it...your onscreen buttons will soon be past
history... :-)"

Hello Brian,
I tested the wizard, and it started making some weird moves, the toolpath looks fine, but when you run it, it just runs a small part of it,
Is this an evaluation version?
Im uploading the gcode file, the settings I used with the multipass wizard are:
X-shift 0
Yshift 0
Feedrate plunge 20
feedrate cut 50
rapid height .25
step depth .125
Deptch .5
Regards
Fernando
