Hello all,
Having a strange issue with my turret. Has been working fine for the past year or so, but now doesn't operate properly. To home, it rotates until it hits the hall sensor, then backs off a preset amount, like any other axis. On the off chance it does this correctly, it homes correctly. In the past day or so, it has decided that sometimes it will back off correctly, and sometimes it will advance by the preset amount, not back off. Sometimes, it doesn't rotate the correct direction to get to the switch either.
Once homed, sometimes it rotates the correct direction to do a tool change, and sometimes it rotates the other direction.
What the hell is going on? I've tried changing settings, eg step direction, homing direction, ang short rot., etc. but doesn't seem to do much. I've attached my .xml, hopefully someone can spot something.
Is it possible the stepper motor is going bad, or the stepper drive? I'm using a Gecko G251 to run it.
One slight issue is that the G251 is rated for 50v max, and I'm reading 54v no load to the drive. Am I cooking it slowly?
Please help!
Thanks,
Kevin
