Feedrate probs w/mach2/3 and retro BOSS
I finally have my BP Boss running off Mach 3 with the original steppers and drivers. I seem to be having problems with mach though on any screen but the diagnostics screen. When I am on the diagnostics screen I can feed up to 120 ipm and jog all 3 axis at the same time smoothly. On any other screen, i.e. MDI, I can only feed in one direction around 85 ipm (and not very smooth) and forget feeding more than one axis at a time. I can only get maybe 40 ipm jogging x and y at the same time.
BTW, I am running with MAX CL enabled in order to utilize the existing drivers.
I have the same problems running both Mach 2 and 3.
If you try to make everything idiot proof, someone will just breed a better idiot!
