Thanks Brian (and others). I now have more speed and I now know much more about how TRAJ works I think, however, I still have one little problem which probably didn't occur at the low speed and which I don't seem able to get rid of. When the motor starts to move, it does two or three steps and the

Ian, Do a test with a G1 at max speed. You should get the same results as a G0. If you have a Gecko drive you can tune the low range for smooth operation with the trim pot. Is your drive a micro step drive? or are you running whole steps? John On 9 Feb 2008 at 18:51, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

I wonder if this is the same problem Fred is having? I have never used steppers so I am clueless (well okay, more than normal). On Sat, 2008-02-09 at 15:05 -0800, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, > I am confused by an odd stepper problem which I can't understand. The > stepper affected is the

[Emc-users] Stepper problem

2008-02-09 Thread watchman1
Hi, I am confused by an odd stepper problem which I can't understand. The stepper affected is the one driving my rotary axis and the problem is that it won't go fast enough... To explain - if I issue a G1 command in MDI, I am limited to a F20 speed as, beyond that, the stepp
