Thanks guys, I'm slowly getting there.
I got home and went to reply to the post , I forgot I'd already registered a while ago as Tarak, so I hope I didn't confuse you all.
We managed to work out the limits, they work in the diagnostic screen but for some reason the limit indicator lights aren't lighting up, I had a look at the formula but I couldn't see what was wrong, it's weird because the limit warning is popping up , but this is obviously a small problem I can sort out anytime.
Also when an I change one of the stepper motors to suit degrees, it automatically enters 11.111111 into the counts, when I try to run it it won't, is this because I need to figure out the gear ratio and enter it in the ratio?
Kinda hard to explain what I mean....
After I thought about it on the weekend, the rotary axis work with it set as mm/Inch even though it needs to be degrees and the counts set to about 5102 work close for the linear slides, so I thought the only difference is the gear boxes, the linear slides don't have any...............I think.
I hope you guys don't mind me picking your brains.  |
