Is there someone out there that can explain in greater detail the settings in the acceleration dialog box in deskcnc. I understand the start velocity and max velocity setting. But the others to me seem rather abstract. "Keep increasing the acceleration value" ? Ok I can do that, but Id rather know what I was doing.
I understand that every motor and drive combo and every machine set up is going to be different so there is no right or wrong setting. I would like to know what that value means, I know the units are steps per second, but is it saying that the speed will increase by that many steps per second every second till it hits max? I dont think. Now we come to the truly bamboozling one, acceleration scale. Good grief.
"This is a scale factor that will reduce the acceleration most notably in high SPS ranges. Entering a Acceleration Scale greater than 1 will decrease the acceleration."
Its enough to make me,
well... write this post.
If anyone is still with me, im also curious about the CMC value, 0 is off, 1 is on, and anything higher is on with that value as a threshold. That makes sense just fine, but the following description?
"An this mode, if any axis has a change in Steps per Second that is greater than this value, will decel to the Start Velocity. If all axis' have a change in velocity that is less than this value, then no decel takes place. "
Can someone out there break it down for me? Feel free to be as condescending as you would like, I wont mind. My goal is to make my very slow very sedate foam cutter run without the odd pulsing that I assume is coming from improper accel settings.
PS is there an up to date manual somewhere?
