M11 p0 makes limit switches become ignored. Not something I would normally want.
Updating software always changes something- I am of the school if it ain’t broke do not fix on software. After the...

A while back all boards lost ability, you need to update the software from Planet. It was relatively painless process.

This is now a question on PM.
The question is the feed rate in x,y,z,u synched to spindle encoder? If the spindle bogs at all the axis need to stay in exact timing. E-gearing is another term...

Getting modbus is a big deal. I am no software person, but I know multiple motors, pre-positioning conveyors, and wego i/0 systems all work well on modbus. Ethercat, meh. Heavy bus (one control...

Not following how comp is set to an acceleration. Backlash is distance. Acceleration is .65g, rapid is 150 ipm, backlash is .0006 (y) and .0007 (x). Backlash values obtained with indicator on...

If you find out the spindle oil I would like to know. I have been told contradictory things on this.

congrats on your mill, now that you have a little time with it I will add what I have done to...

With backlash compensation turned on during a circular movement there is an abrupt stop/start in the non-compensated axis at each quadrant. Is there a way to keep the non-compensated axis moving at...

Same company again. Still have viacad/shark, which is far better.

Is it a skew (rotate x/y n degrees) or having a different movement in gantry x1 and x2 drives? counts per would solve second. the first I have no idea how to set a default skew that is non zero.

The power supply is going to only put out so many amps. You have 4 motors drawing 4-5 amps each, as soon as the power supply reaches its capacity all motors will de-tune and not equally. Add to...

If the motors are sharing a power supply that tiny otherwise unnoticeable click could throw stepper into losing its “cog”. The single power supply is will push more amps to motor drawing (stepper...

Running iso to curve might force cam works to update feed rates. Almost every line in 5 axis contouring has a f command. Might need to play with post to get what you are after. Controllers are...

B 360 f200 should take 108 seconds. Speed gets all sorts of weird to guess with rotaries. Your cam software has to do that math. F is speed in units/minute. A degree is a unit treated the same as...

I have tried to follow what is going on. To make it easier for those of us at home maybe define your a/b with degrees and not length. It makes everything easier. Your max spin speed is defined in...

what minor additional electronics did you add for rpm control? My output board is not generating 0-10 volts. 0-0.3 is what I am getting. Pin 6 on pwm with a lagging volt meter does generate 0-4.9+...

select all your lines drawn and in the inspector window (data tab) change your z value (or add if not there) to 0 for start and end.

Are you going to do this class again in the near future? does it cover changing the tools plane (like an angle hole)?

extend your machine initial purge cycle to blow out moisture from idle time. Do you have large enough air lines running to machine? Your pressure will show good on your pre regulator by the time...

viacad is hands down one of cleanest and most powerful 3d cad programs out there. a few bugs if you depend on part tree after a few to many saves, but note many. I used to use acad and inventor at...
