Hi,
I'm using Ahren's r&p system and I've just now reached the point to enter the motor tuning info in Mach3.
I have the Probotix stuff and I'm running 1/8 microsteps on 200 step per rev steppers.
Ahren has a 1" pitch circle pinion gear, and a 3:1 pulley reduction.
Any help would be really appreciated getting this set up, i'm confused.
The nearest i've figured out is 1600/3.14159 for 509.3 steps/per rev but this isn't even close to equaling an inch of travel on my machine....
__________________________
as a second question i'd like to know what settings to use on a 1/2x10 acme threaded rod with 5 starts using 1/8 stepping?
-------------------------------
and as a third question what accel should i set for my r&p drives at:
100in/min,
200in/min,
400in/min... at least as a sane starting point.
thanks!
