Hi,
I am in the process of setting up MACH3 on a Shopbot PRT 48 X 96 Router.
Got all my proximity, E-Stop, homing working thanks to the help I received here.
I have also tuned the motors and set the steps per inch on all the motors. I have the motion control set to constant velocity. The A Axis is Slaved to the X Axis.
I am running Gekco 202 drivers. The motor on the X,Z & A Drives run about 85 degrees F and the motor on the Y Axis runs abou 105 degrees F.
The motors on the X,Y & A Axis are Vexta A6497-9412KTG 0.5/Step
The motor on the Z Axis is a Vexta PK296A@A-SQ7-2 0.25/Step
When I try and run some GCODE the router growls LOUDLY when it is trying to make a move that requires a combination of X & Y like an ARC.
I had a spare Vexta A6497-9412KTG so I replaced the motor on the Y Axis and the growl is still there.
I have a spare Gekco 202 and wonder if the Y Axis driver might be the problem.
There might be a problem in the configuration so I have attached my XML file for your review.
Any help that you guys might be able to offer would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John
