ok, starting a new thread about motor tuning and mach3 setup. as far as my stall goes, it is only in one line of code at the end of a rapid. it doesnt seem to be a tight spot in the gibs as it only does it on this one line, and there are 5 or 6 other rapid codes to this same position. this line of code has the y axis moving like .020" and the x axis moving oh 1.5" the other rapids to this location only move the x axis, could be the simultaneous rapid of both axis, but there are several more of those in the code as well, and they all sound nice and smooth with a nice smooth stop before doing next move. i changed that rapid movement to a G1 move and ran the program successfully with rapids at 120ipm, so this has me perplexed. as far as pulse tuning, not quite sure what those numbers do, but mine were at 2 and 2 and i tried a couple different combos to no avail. some wierd things about my setup.
none of the novakon xml files will work on my machine. one they sent me shows external e stop requested and wont reset, another looks very similar to the one i modified to get to work, but none of the axis will move. my limit switches do not seem to do anything, and the settings are all the same as the xml that novakon sent me and the one they just posted a couple weeks ago on the site. i tried changing a couple of the settings, but nothing seems to work. would someone be willing to send me a known good xml file? ihavenofish?
