Hi Hood
Thanks for the response, hope your keeping well, no I haven't forgot I still have your driver all boxed and safe, just in case.
Got all the electronics boxed and seems OK, built the z axis and gantry, just wanted to test things out before going to far with my concept.
I have come up with a novel way of creating the linear bearings (I think, seems to work and should be sufficient for this build)
As you can see I am still dabbling with the machine (monster) as and when I can get on it.
The PC I have for mach also shows a good graph on the driver test maybe not at peak but up to 60K its good
I was really pleased with the performance of the set up during the tuning, until, as I have said I went back to the run screen
I will try "Angel Techs" suggestion regarding the slow jog rate when next at play time
The reason for asking about PC spec's, I believe my HP although looks more than up to the job is doing something in the background when I change from tuning to run
As always I am trying to keep the costs down, its easy to to throw money at things but that's not in the spirit of DIY or challenging and what do I learn if I just go out and buy a machine
(Typical Engineer)
Any way back to the PC spec question, I will have to try and find a PC tech and ask what could be going on
I am sure there are loads of PC's that are spot on for this application, its just finding out which ones and why
