Good morning all,
I was having all sorts of problems with UC100 having synch errors and disconnects and finally gave up on it. I picked up the ESS Smooth Stepper board from Automation Technologies (it is great having a place where you can go there and pick stuff up within an hour of ordering it!).
I swapped out the boards and got the machine running. The SmoothStepper lives up to its name - definitely a smooth pulse stream!
The only issue I have found thus far is that my spindle starts up before the Mach3 software finishes powering up. This never happened with the UC100.
I know I can leave the spindle off until Mach3 is fully powered, but am looking for a more elegant solution to the problem.
Is there a way to tweak the settings so this doesn't happen?
