Gentlemen, although I understand much more now about EMC than in January, I still have problems with my stepper motors. They do pretty much what they ought to now ( I can scribe the AXIS logo with my PCB drill), but their sound still isn't what we all are used to from photo copiers and other stepping gear. My motor gives about a constant tone, which is not very distinct, however. The turning isn't "easy going", I seem to feel a reluctance to follow each step impulse.
I reduced the problem to the X-axis only to make it simpler to follow. At any rate, there is no "singing" or whining of the motor, I can't hear the familiar accelerating and decelerating sound, it makes no difference in sound when I change the stepping frequency. I can vary all the params in stepconf and test their axis within the program, it makes no difference. Understand me right, the motor sure varies speed and acceleration visibly, so the configuration shows effect all right, but it's not an audible change. And I don't think I can rely on the true count of steps, surely not when it comes to work under load. This phenomenon is what I called "rattling" in a former thread (end of Jan.). I tried, as I was adviced then, to eliminate doublestep, I changed polarity of puls an direction, varied pulse and pause times, chose extreme pulse and pause rates manually editing the hal and ini files, it all makes no change in this behaviour. The driver card can't be the reason because with my old DOS program things work still ok. What can be wrong with my setup?
