Hello all,
Trying to give my lathe the ability to thread. I followed the advice given by Chris Humphris, and used an Optek OPB982T51Z optocoupler and made an interrupter wheel which is mounted on the spindle. Mach is seeing the pulse, as it does display an SActual value, but the displayed value swings/oscillates wildly. I've played with the slot width on my interrupter, I've toyed with the Index debounce value, changed active states, etc., to no avail. Whats going wrong?
The setup I'm using feeds the index pulse through a C23 BOB and SS. I've read a few other threads on here where people had better luck feeding the pulse direct through a PPort.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kevin
