I found maybe an answer to the indexing problem I am having These lines are in the m5i20_motion.hal file:
# Connect index enables to motion controller, for homing. net Xindex-enable m5i20.0.enc-00-index-enable <=> axis.0.index-enable net Yindex-enable m5i20.0.enc-01-index-enable <=> axis.1.index-enable net Zindex-enable m5i20.0.enc-02-index-enable <=> axis.2.index-enable I didnt find something like this in the hm2 files Can I add this to the servo file and make the hm2 changes I also changed this line for each axis: setp hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.pwmgen.00.scale 1.0 To this: setp hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.pwmgen.00.scale [AXIS_0]OUTPUT_SCALE To use .ini file settings Later Terry On Sun May 31 9:59 , Terry <[email protected]> sent: > >Hi all, > >I have a couple more issues with Hm2 >The PID parameters are very different than Hm4 > >Heres what worked on 4: > >P = 110 >I = 2 >D = 0.5 >FF0 = 0 >FF1 = 1.05 >FF2 = 0.008 >BIAS = 0 > >these gave me a following error of .003 at 350 ipm and >less than .0002 at 30 ipm > >the same numbers on 2 created severe oscilation >this is not such a big deal as I can retune but it would >have been nice not to. > >I tried these numbers on 2 and could move the machine >slowly > >P = .4 >I = .6 >D = .15 >FF0 = 0 >FF1 = .0 >FF2 = .000 >BIAS = 0 > >That is a big difference and I know Im not done tuning >but I dont think that I will be going from a P of .4 >to a P of 110 >I dont mind retuning but before I do I want to know if there >is something I missed > >Here is the other thing,I tried to home the machine and >it searched for the limit switches and hit them and started >backing away and just kept going- I let them each move an inch >and stopped them.I know that I passed the index at least 3 or 4 times >so where do I find that setting? >When it hit the limit I did not get the little arrow >beside the read out to note that I was on the switch > >This is in the .ini file of each axis > >HOME_OFFSET = 0.02 >HOME_SEARCH_VEL = 0.30 >HOME_LATCH_VEL = -0.01 >HOME_USE_INDEX = YES >HOME_IGNORE_LIMITS = YES > > >Thanks in advance > >Terry > > > >---- Msg sent via CableONE.net MyMail - http://www.cableone.net >------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
