Bruce! Hi, so glad U still around! :wave:
Thankyou sooo much for the user manual translation.
i took note of "I recommend setting the parameter to 2-4,"
Could you please tell me what "Bonding to trimming" means?
Also, Ahem.., i got a problem houston, The test setup on the workbench reveals that most of the settings are working afaik, although the exact method of setting the limits after initial power up is a bit mysterious to me. After some switch/joystick poking, i can set them,limit leds come on anyway.
But main issue atm, is i can only get the steppers to run flat chat, regardless of pot setting, or Man mode.i double checked the Nicholai67 Adapter board (its nice, U can have one if U want it),
to ensure the rapid pull-up is present, & the rapid switch is ok.
Just now swapped out the Mega, for brand new one - No Difference (prog'd with no shield, used Arduino version IDE 1.8.10
- I implemented that motor port address problem in the code, that U referred to some time back. (Hans- Dutch guy) THANKYOU!
So the motors are responding to the various axis selected. The MPG from Amazon (black one) works well both axis, both scales.
Cone select menu works > one crosslide, X, direction. < cone, the reverse direction happens. Both motors seem to be running for a preset duration, X stops before Z. So all good there i thinks.(manual test mode).
here is the ref, btw, to the joystick chosen for testing only: https://docs.rs-online.com/5b4c/0900766b8152c2e9.pdf
This small animal has a rotary encoder built in as well! (may come in handy for other ideas).
Also,
Can U tell me what is "Pq & Ap" in settings?
Also with the indexer & its multitudinous menu selection for angles, how is the spindle controlled to do the actual indexing?
The accel /decel ramps are working too BTW.
The pot does vary the speed settings on the display.. so must be close to working!
