Hello.
I was using my router for a almost 2 years now. But after I moved machine in the new shop I got a strange problem.
Every time I try to cut outside circle I get a circle axacly 0,2mm bigger. Every time I try to cut inner circle (hole) I get 0,2mm smaller. When I cut a square outside I get 0,3mm bigger.
So When I cut a circle with ø10mm on the outside I get 10,2mm. When I cut a hole ø3mm I get 2,8mm. When I cut a square 7x7mm I get 7,3x7,3mm.
My setup is:
Windows XP with 3ghz cpu.
Ethernet SmoothStepper
PMDG-122 Brakeout board
KL-8070 Stepper Drivers
2Nm Nema 23 motors (8-leads)
48V PSU capable of delivering 24A constant
Kress FME 1050W
ø16mm 1605 Ballscred an all axis
ø16mm Shafts with SMUU bearings
What I have tried:
1. I changed location of all cables.
2. I changed location of spindle cable.
3. Changes back and forth microsteps.
4. Calibrating steps per. But this is weird as it worked before.
5. Reinstalling (everything with newest drivers and versions)and setting up Mach3 and SmoothStepper for skratch.
6. Tried 3 different PCs included Laptop with Win7 64-bit. Each time new setup.
7. Screaming at whole system
8. Curse at whole system
What i suspect:
My new location has a little mote humility.
1. Maybe PMDX-122 is going crazy?
2. Maybe SmoothStepper is going crazy?
3. Maybe Stepper Motor Drivers are going crazy??
4. Some kind of Noise doing it? But noise is never so consistent.
Any more ideas?
