slowly busy converting my chinese 6040 to pokeys.
received my stepper drivers today and build a quick mock-up on a piece of MDF, running each stepper at 2.5A, so each has their own fan.
The machine already sounds better, so far very happy with this
Two things I have noticed though, I now and again get a "buzz" from the motors when not moving. not always, if it buzzes and I tap the jog key, it stops.
Also, when I click "Go to Zero", they stop at X0.0031 Y0.0031 for example. Not always though, sometimes a different number, does not go to exactly 0.0000 ? Anyone else seen this ?
Anyway, so far very happy .. and also very quick shipping from the guys at Polabs, both orders pretty much arrived the next day almost !! Happy chappy !
