Gene said inches per minute. You are saying inches per second. You are off by a factor of 60. Ken On Fri, Sep 16, 2016 at 11:46 PM, Chris Albertson wrote: > Gene, > > I think I understand now > > On Fri, Sep 16, 2016 at 6:07 PM, Gene Heskett

Re: [Emc-users] Got "new" PC, some question about setting it up.

Gene, That was a good data point: " 60IPS". May I ask about the lead screw and if you are micro stepping? And the motor size. I think I'm going to design for a target speed of 100 IPS but if it comes out 60 I'll be happy. On Thu, Sep 15, 2016 at 11:55 AM, Gene Heskett

Re: [Emc-users] Got "new" PC, some question about setting it up.

I'm no expert on this. Those of you who are more experienced with this, please correct me if I am wrong. But I recently had a system with similar latency numbers to yours, and was able to run a cpu hog while doing the test, and reduced the latency to around 4000. The cpu hog is a simple routine

Hello, Got a "new" computer I saved from going to the dump. II am going to it use for LinuxCNC. I tested latency for a good 30 minutes and got just under 30,000 over 20,000 on the display. The PC is an Intel i7, 2.67 GHz, 4GB RAM and no built-in graphics on the mother board. There is a video
