Hi there This is my first post. My name is Rainer Schmidt and I'm from Bloomfield, NJ. I build a 4x8 servo drivven gantry router and am currently using Mach3 as planer and to drive my servo drives. While having some mysterious problems I decided to give EMC a try. One cannot have enough alternatives.
In Mach3 I am using a hardware to generate steps and direction signals to the servo drives. I read that there is a piece of Hardware doing the same thing for EMC. If someone could give me a shopping list, that would be fantastic. I have a rather high resolution on the axis and thus need higher pulse rates. it owuld make me feel better if I have a reliable source for those pulses than my PC... I ran the latency test and my Dell Optiplex GX280 is having a feisty processor but 27-30 is to slow.... The problem I am having with Mach3 is that I have flat's on my circles. And no clue where they can come from. I have no measurable backlash and different toolpath shows no change either. So I suspect Mach3 doing some strange stuff with the settings I applied. EMC to the rescue haha Cheers Rainer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
