[Machinekit] Re: Setting up spindle in machinekit
HI Charles Thanks or the reply. Here is the set up. We are using beaglebone black, with polulu drives. Wires are connected directly from bbb to the polulu stepper drivers. I'm using the cramp configuration for now. The image is the latest machinekit image for bbb. I'll check the man pages and see what i can come up with. thanks Best Jason On Friday, September 9, 2016 at 9:52:07 AM UTC-4, joe2456001 wrote: > > HI ALL > I was trying to set up my spindle in machinekit.

[Machinekit] Re: Setting up spindle in machinekit
Also , in the settings i set it to be in degrees, but the real turnning speed is much higher. Maybe because the scale was set wrong On Friday, September 9, 2016 at 9:52:07 AM UTC-4, joe2456001 wrote: > > HI ALL > I was trying to set up my spindle in machinekit.

[Machinekit] Setting up spindle in machinekit
HI ALL I was trying to set up my spindle in machinekit. I'm using cramp.ini as my configuration, and then i set A axis as my spindle. (it's not really a spindle it's a 400 step stepper motor i need to turn at a constant speed in my machine). So here is my set up. [AXIS_3] TYPE = ANGULAR MAX_VELOCITY = 216000 MAX_ACCELERATION = 36 # Set Stepgen max 20% higher than the axis STEPGEN_MAX_VEL = 259200 STEPGEN_MAX_ACC = 43.2 BACKLASH = 0.000 SCALE = 400 MIN_LIMIT = -.0 MAX_LIMIT = 9.0 FERROR = 1.0 MIN_FERROR = .25 So i run in mdf g01 a800 f400. It's running but not the way i want it to. Is there another way to really set up this as spindle and run gcode to turn it as a spindle in machinekit?

[Machinekit] Re: using machinekit with bbb and polulu driver to drive stepper motor without any cape
Hi guys Thanks for the input. So far it works well for me. I'll report back if i run into any problems.

[Machinekit] machinekit with bbb, stepper motor test GUI utility acceleration test
HI all I did manage to use the cramp configuration to try to run a single stepper motor without the cramp cape with just bbb and polulu driver. But my goal is to just test the running and acceleration of this stepper motor. Is there a utility in machine kit that allows me to do the testing of a stepper motor, for example set the speed and acceleration for it in a GUI.

[Machinekit] Re: using machinekit with bbb and polulu driver to drive stepper motor without any cape
Thank you jeff I did manage to use the signals from a cramp config to run a stepper motor. Much better signal than the one generated by python code. I use p812 and p813 the x axis, set the scale to 400, (my motor is 0.9 degree). Ad run mdf command g01 x2000 f200 this way the feedrate speed is my rpm. thanks Best Jason On Thursday, September 1, 2016 at 9:30:18 PM UTC-4, joe2456001 wrote: > > HI guys >I was trying to use bbb and run machinekit to send signals to a polulu > driver, to drive a stepper motor.

[Machinekit] using machinekit with bbb and polulu driver to drive stepper motor without any cape
HI guys I was trying to use bbb and run machinekit to send signals to a polulu driver, to drive a stepper motor. This way the signal will be coming from pru, i don't want to get a cape for this. When i choose a config fie now the bbb is search for the eeprom of the cape which i don't have.Is this possible? Any suggestions will be appreciated.
