Hey! :wave:
I've reduced the velocity and acceleration from 120/10 to 75/8 to 50/5 and velocity/acceleration doesn't seem to have any impact on the stalling. I've even used the override and reduced feed to only 5% of 40ipm and it would still stall without the motors being hooked up at all; just free spin'n.
I called and talked with guys at Gecko and they recommended with my motors that I remove the limiting resistors all together. My motors are rated for 4.2? Amps so the G540 won't hurt anything. Just put a full 3.5A to the motors and deal with a little extra heat. So I did that and I can't see any improvements to the stalling situation by doing so.
I was reading through my old thread and started thinking about grounding again. Right now I've got a 12'ish AWG ground wire connecting my frame to the grounding rod for my breaker box over about 12'ish feet. I'm starting to wonder if that's sufficient. I know grounding makes a HUGE difference but maybe with the distance I'm going my ground wire isn't big enough.
What are your thoughts?
Edit: For Frank
I've even unplugged anything USB or PCI that doesn't need to be connected. Walked through the Mach3 "optimization" guide again and took a look at my CPU while Mach is running and once in a while it'll spike at 1 maybe 2 percent CPU while running but during a stall there's nothing. Not even a tiny little ripple in CPU usage.
