General Mach Discussion / Re: Fast Jog but it skips on G-Code
« on: February 11, 2008, 08:58:57 AM »
One last post (I hope). Thank you all for your help. After a lot of experimenting I have come to the conclusion that the problem isn't all Mach3.
Just a note for those who use the HobbyCNC package. Set your board to 1/4 stepping. Doesn't make sense but it works. Using a 1/4-20 rod you end up with 16000 steps per inch.
Then I changed my motor tunings to 45 ipm and acc. of 10. When I changed my settings to this it seems to work.
I have cut 3 complicated pieces and it never skipped. Changed my feed rate from 30 to 16 and it still never skipped. So thanks a lot everyone for your help.
Thanks,
Clint
