Hey all, new to the forum here. Im building a Momus 2.1 CNC router and have had my share of the building woes. The latest of which really has me stumped and its very weird.
I can move my Y axis just fine by itself. I can move my X axis fine by itself. The trouble starts when trying to move them together. If Im manually jogging the machine the Y is fine. The X will move in the positive direction but will not jog in the opposite direction unless I nudge the Y positive just a bit. I know Im not doing very well explaining here but I guess the easiest way to say it is, I cannot get the X to return the other direction unless I FIRST move the Y a bit in the positive. Weird right? I can move the X all day back and forth until I move the Y in the negative, then the X will only move one direction. If I then nudge the Y positive, the X takes off again.
Im suspecting my BOB since I have had some other troubles with it and it is the cheapo one that comes with a 3 axis kit.
My setup is as follows:
DM524 drivers
425 oz/in Nema 23
Mach 3 Trial ver. (Waiting for Mach to send me my License code)
Windows 7 32bit
1.6 Duo core: 2 GB ram
