Today I finally got a chance to run a sample program and chose the "Road Runner" from the Mach directory.
So I moved the axis off the home switches and into the center of the workspace, set the axes to zero and hit the Cycle Start button... well to put it mildly the thing sounded like a dead cat moaning as it continued to run the program.. what the heck?
When tuning the motors the machine sounded nothing like that it was a nice smooth sound high pitched as I increased the speed, this was more of a low growl..
Could I have the motors tuned to run quickly? or maybe it was running to slowly?
Looking for some ideas on this one..
