Hi,
I'm very new to CNC and could do with some help please
I've recently upgraded the mill I use to 3-axis CNC and I've no idea where I'm going wrong.
I've gone into the automatic step calibration and used a DTI to see how many steps the motors need and that's giving me continuous results, if I tell it to move 0.1mm in the calibration it will move that far, I've set the backlash by moving in one direction by 1mm measuring on a DTI and then moving back the other way to see how far off the backlash is and setting that it works.
I've turned the velocity and acceleration of the motors down and played with the debounce interval setting but every time I jog an axis and press return to zero or run a g-code it just isn't having it. It seems to move further and further from the start point the more I move it.
Its all getting confusing and its getting to that point where if I keep trying I'll eventually put it far out of where I want it to be.
