G95 Lathe problem
« on: January 12, 2010, 07:21:20 AM »
OK this has been happening for the last three releases i am using Ver 3.042.035

This is with a smooth stepper

When i program my feed rates with G95 at first it does not conform to the speed selected there is some sort of buffer that after a few moves this buffer will empty then  the fed will suddenly start feeding at the correct rate.

Anyone have similar problems and got a fix ?

never tried the latest versions as dont think there is anything in them to improve Turn, so suppose the fix would be to go back to an older revision until Rev4 comes out. If I get a chance I will try with 035 in a bit and see if I get the same issues.

Amazingly i fixed this myself. ;D ;D ;D

I do try to only ask if i have tried everything but the fix is this.

This was my original code

G95 F0.15
S500
M3
G0 X0 Z0
G1 X-15

The feed would only reach .04 which is way too slow

But i added a G4 P2 delay after the M3

This solves the problem

I found this out when i did the moves from the MDI line

As it worked perfectly which led me to believe i needed the delay as it was my slow typing that negated the error. ;D

Maybe this should be reported to the gurus.

So that is fine in earlier revisions without the delay?
Had just tried MDI a feed and it was fine on 035 but will go see if it happens for me if I load your code.

OK i tried it in a program and it ignored the delay. ???

So i put a delay on the spindle setup and this time it ran OK

The advantage to this is you don't have to edit your files.

Well I just tried with your above code, changed the x to 100 and 10 so it didnt run out of axis on -x but it worked fine for me without any G4. I do have a delay of 1 second on my spindle so thats maybe why, will go test again without the delay.

Just tried with zero delay for spindle and it worked fine as well, might be worth re-installing again just to see if that helps you out.

Hood and I will be gutting all the G95 code and making it better :)  I am moving the feed calculator down a level so it is as close to the driver / external device as I can get it..

Thanks
