It has been a while.. couple weeks for the smooth stepper to arrive which it did as I left town for a couple weeks then a week to get every thing settled at work and the changes done in the machine. the machine is back to full resolution and the motion is smooth as silk.
I also tried the tempest planner (developmental from Art ) and ran some tool paths in the air with very smooth motion.
I am still getting drive faults if I break into a tool path move which is not a big deal so long as I can reset the drive . Is there a way to have the reset button in mach3 reset a faulted drive? or must I cycle the power to the vsd drives? I am using a switching power supply for the logic in my machine so I can put a remote off on switch on the front of the panel to cycle power when faults occur, I'm just concerned that I am missing something on the setup. is there a more complete explanation of how the functions of the vsdepi card are set through the config.drc file? |
