Hood,

Are you saying that with the CSMIO you're now merely relying on it stopping the drives on fault/Estop? A relay still seems more reliable to me...

Hi Hood,

Good to see it moving and changing tools finally

The autotuning seems to have done a good job.

The differing opinions make it very confusing. Even in that thread linked above, some disagree with Mariss, despite his perfectly reasonable explanation.

Hood,

Curious, would you have been able to use the spindle as an axis if you weren't using the encoder module?

Also, why do you prefer velocity mode? Thought torque mode was the preferred one. Mariss describes it very well in this thread:

Hi Hood,

Yes, it's starting to look good.
Didn't know the CSMIO had an Auto Tune option. Sounds great! Also the DROs keeping track of the axes backwards very interesting.

Thanks a lot for information, Hood. Just what I needed to know.

Hi Hood,

A quick question regrading MPG with the CSMIO. Does it work in Step-Velocity mode as well? Or just multistep? What is your step size at x1 ?
