Yes, sorry. The speed required by your configuration was 320 KHz or 320,000 Hz. My goof on the extra zeros. > If PRU maximum pulse speed is 50KHZ, the max speed is 500?

Yes, but that's the STEPGEN_MAX_VEL, you should back off that a bit for MAX_VEL. > I am not very sure about Schooner said "Try increasing dirhold / dirlen to > 1us > and steplen / stepspace to 5us > If that cures it, try reducing the figures towards the chip specs until you > hit > problems" > > Anyhow I tried to change ini file, i am not sure.

The minimum time for any of these values is one PRU task cycle, which is typically 10 uS, or 10,000 nS, so you probably won't see any difference by making small changes to these values. > About speed, yes, i shift one decimal left as follow: > > TYPE = LINEAR > MAX_VELOCITY = 20.0 > MAX_ACCELERATION = 300.0 > # Set Stepgen max 20% higher than the axis > STEPGEN_MAX_VEL = 24.0 > STEPGEN_MAX_ACC = 360.0 > > SCALE = -100 > > It works much better than before, but motor still stall when execute G00. > Speed > still too high? where to set G00 speed? 20.0 is only stand for feed speed? > Then when motor change rotate direction, speed decrease to zero, around Zero > motor start move step by step, make vibration and noise.

MAX_VELOCITY sets the G0 speed. 20.0 should be a very reasonable value, I run with MAX_VEL=200.0 on a system with SCALE=110.0 If your stepper is not moving well at low speed, double-check all your wiring, the driver, and the motor itself. Normally, stepper motors work best at low speed and start having problems (loosing torque and missing steps) at higher speeds. A stepper motor _will_, however, move with only one coil energized, but it will have problems with low and high speeds. -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
