Hello everyone
I had a great idea the other day, and that was generated by my recent acquisition of a little Myford lathe from a deceased estate.
I want to convert it to Mach, but leave it in a condition that can easily be put back as original.
Anyway the problem I have atm is a follows:
I set up a servo as the X axis, then decided to use it as a spindle. I checked the box in the Ess plugin to say that the spindle was step and direction.
This servo works well and revolves at maximum speed (2500rpm) when it is connected to the smoothstepper and configured in Mach as the x axis.
Using the same servo controller and cable etc, in fact all I did was change the configuration in Mach, I can't get the motor to turn at over 700 rpm.
The servo does support step and direction and as i have already said it works well when it is X.
I'm sure if will be an easy fix. It could be caused by the smoothstepper, or the the Mach configuration.
Anyway I'd better mention my configuration.
Mach3 an Ess, a GSK Servo and controller.
I think that's it.
Any help would be appreciated.
