Yes you are correct in how I "reversed" the axis.

I reversed the direction of the y and x axis as it was cutting backwards but the z is still not zeroing. not sure what sherline mode is or where it is enabled but I am definately missing or adding...

My z axis needs setup. I have a 255 motor, dm542 driver and 5tpt lead screw. what dip settings on the driver do I set. on off on on on off.......

using the 255 motor and m542 driver and a 5tpi, leadscrew, what are the best dip settings for this set up? I have spent the past three weeks trying combinations of step resolution and current...

I am having trouble figuring out what dip setting to use on my dm542 microdirver using a 255 motor and 5 threads per inch leadscrew.

[/QUOTE]

I think my lead screw is 5tpi.





QUOTE=Devastator;1700432]What leadscrew TPI? Looks like you are using 4000 steps per revolution.

Depending on your leadscrew, I'd use a 8 or 16 microstep...

Trying to figure out the dip set up. using 1off 2off 3off 4off 5on 6off 7on 8off.
steps are around 32486 vel50 and acc50

Still will not hold zero after...

need help with stepper settings though. z screems and looses step. calibrated though?????

are any of you having problems staying logged on? Maybe it my computer.???

So what does inductance have to do with anything? mybad? How does it relate to speed, torque, or resonance?

Dude you rock! You synthesized it quite well. I have been reading many things but getting bits and pieces here and there. I understand a lot of the mechanical ratio end of things but I really have...

the Plasmaroute machine has the same config 4-1 and a G540. It must need more tuning or something??? I would like bulletproof too.

Looks like I need to get into some math and specific calculations. Haven't been there since graduating highschool back in 88 but I ended with trig. I grew up in Troy Mich not far from Ger. Now Im...

I plan on creating a R&P style using steel on all components exept the z axiz. I have not fully thought out the z yet. However I want the 4th to have a 24"x36" turning diameter. That means at...

i am planning 4x8 build and was wondering if I should buy the largest nema34 motors i can get. Are there any negative drawbacks to running larger stepper motors or is it recommended as long as you...
