G100 Mach3 Setup and Motor Tuning
« on: May 10, 2007, 11:39:56 PM »
I need some help setting up Mach3's G100 Plugin features.

In 1st screenshot below what exactly does CV Radius control and when does it control it?
Also, what are the units of measure?

In 2nd screenshot below can you explain each of the 4 CV Control settings and how to use them:
1) Plasma Mode
2) CV Dist Tolerance [nnn] Units...
3) G100 Adaptive NurbsCV
4) Stop CV Angles on > [nnn] Degrees

In the 3rd screenshot below can you please explain the effects and usage of Maximum Frequency?  I've noticed that changes here affect the Motor Movement Profile's Velocity scale.

If there's a document that covers these things please point me to it, thanks in advance for your help!!!

Hi:

 CV radius is in whatever units the program is setup in. It joins lines to gether with small arcs of that radisu to speed things up.
CV control shoudl be left all unchecked. There is a CV thread on the forum that explains them, 99% of people need none of them.

The max speed is important though. It shoudl be set, for each axis, to the next highest frequency used. If, for example, the X is set to run at 55Khz as a max speed, then 65Khz shodul be flashed for that axis. All axis shoudl be flashed that way.

Just a quick check..  How to derive the max frequency or an example of deriving it?   Guessing it's something like pulses from the servo sensor x rotation x distance or something.

B:

  The max frequency is your stepsPerUnit times your unitperminute divided by 60.
