How would anyone know they are supposed to calculate all of this out with the given documentation?
My machine runs in inches, so this is not really working out for me.
My Acceleration Units/(Sec^2) is 50.00 (from the motors setup screen).
so,
d=1/2*a*t^2
d=1/2*50*t^2
My "Slow measure feedrate" is 5.0 and I am not positive what units these are?? inches per minute? inches/Sec^2 ??
So,
t=5/50
t=0.1
So,
d=1/2*50*.1^2
d=0.25
This cannot be right? Quarter inch of over travel would break my probe likely.
This all makes no sense to me. Something is not converting correctly for me here. Mismatch in units or something.
I understand why this is Mach4 hobby. Your entire hobby becomes figuring out how to work it instead of using your machine
If I convert my "Slow measure feedrate" of 5.0 and assume it is inches/minute to inches/second (0.0833333), the math comes out like this...
t=0.0833333/50
t=0.0016666
d=1/2*50*0.0016666^2
d=0.000069438889
This is basically setting my overshoot to zero.....does this sound correct??
