Yeah this is one thing I'm unsure of how well the pinion and idler performs set up like this, something I was hoping people with experience would...
Almost forgot, you need to do a steps per calculation, as default they are set real low and will make your motors go super slow especially with...
Oh and need to set your motor tuning, 400mm/min 50mm/ps/ps is a good place to start for x and y, half that for z Got to hit the sack, good luck....
Two windings with both sides of the winding bridging both channels of your driver will make one winding try to go one way and the other the...
just vibrating and not moving? Two causes you have your motor poles wired wrong or too little current to drive the motor. It's only doing it when...
No infact, it's well past my bed time, active low should make a difrence it shouldn't just run. Could you have your driver direction and steps...
Brilliant, your almost there then. Most likely an active low unchecked. So what changed that made it run?
the figures are the position so if they are not moving neither are you outputting any steps so need to confirm Mach 3 is outputting steps before...
The dro is the Xyza figures in the top right of Mach 3
If so put a multimeter over the Gnd terminal and pin 3 terminal, when you change direction you should see a voltage
Ok so in that case when you jog you should see steps on pin 2 and direction on pin 3, If you jog the x do you see the dro figures move? Sorry if...
Also in open device manger and go into properties of your Parallel port and go to resources tab you should find the ports address. Make sure this...
Okay so let's dignose x, you have Mach 3 set to x step/pulse to pin 2? And x direction to pin 3? Both the same port? Either 1 or two and it...
Bob = Breakout board, what one you using?
These are the dip switches on your drivers? Or elsewhere. You need to initially determine that the bob is outputing steps, does your bob have an...
Though if you do make one, it's a good idea to check the orientation of the camera before making the mount for it :s lol The macro was probably...
Hi there, fellow open builders, Heres a video of my camera edge finder arrangement and offset macro. This idea has been around a while but...
Yeah just an idea and incorporated some of the already used belt and pulley arrangements. In comparison to bolting standard 20x80 profiles...
Thanks but already sorted, you may laugh, been a member here for years and never clicked on the resources tab lol
Adding some caps to over the idler wheels and pulleys would smarten it up. All pretty feasible stuff. I have simply duplicated the x axis assembly...
