Hey Mark,
    Have you allways had the x,y, and z axis rapid at once? I have had problems with that in the past. Feeding all three at once was fine but I can't rapid all three at once. It use to skip steps bad like that.

I'm still testing your file. I have to set up on a BOB rather than the Grex to test CV.

Mark, try this code and see if you get the same results as the one you posted. It is the same file, I just seperated the rapids.
Still doing some test.

Mark, I just ran your code with an indicator in the spindle. Even with all three axis rapiding at the same time, it retured to zero dead nuts. I Zeroed my axis and the indicator, ran the file. It sends it to 10 at the end. I hit go to z and it was perfect. How are you testing to see that it is getting out .3-.4 mm?

Oh dear
Thanks for running the tests guys.
The only thing that is common to my machine and my friends machine are Gecko 210's,should they work in microstep mode x10 or can this cause problems?

Regards
Mark

Chatoticone

Are they stepper motors you are using,are you using microsteps,did you use cv on?
I know this is not lack of power and def not noise as the program runs no problem without losing steps if i turn cv off.
Does microstepping affect cv?
If i went x5 on the gecko's would it help or hinder the problem?
Any input is appreciated.

Regards
Mark

Hey Mark,
     Mine is a stepper machine, 10 microsteps, CV on. I'm not sure about the drives you have. I think some do have a problem with CV mode. You will have to Google gecko drives and read up on them. I use the 201s. I have heard nothing but good things about the new 203Vs.
