  7. What do you guys use for acceleration settings in Mach 3 with the CNC kit from IH

    I've been having issues getting the engine frequency, acceleration, and velocity set to the point where I can get repeatable movement. I'm running the demo version of Mach 3 demo version (25,000 Hz)...

    Well we determined what the problem was. The E-Stop was getting interference and it was causing it to trigger when there is a spike in current to the motors.

    Problem solved.

    Thanks for the help Matt and Keyteem. I find it interesting that our switches are the same but are actually a mirror image. The wiring and jumpers are the same but on opposite sides.
