[Emc-users] More Spindle Soft Start

2009-10-04 Thread Andy I
Is this mail getting through to the list? After some experimentation, I've determined that my spindle card needs a variable frequency square wave sending to it which ranges from 300Hz to around 1800Hz. I had some success with linking siggen and near to give a square digital output -

Dear Jan Chris, I've managed to get a preview that seemed to display a combination of the files. Set the PROGRAM_PREFIX setting in the  ini file to the location of the called files Removed the M30 codes from the end of each sub. I did that and no preview availabl, still get bad

Andy, Thanks for your help. I couldn't get it to work so I did this; use pwmgen output to clock a flip flop, send the flip flop output to the parallel port pin AND to the input of a NOT. Link the NOT output back to flipflop data pin. This gives a really nice square wave - just what I need which

Good day. Please advice. How to implement on a machine that has an X axis two engines, the independent reference? So that once acted as an actuator for X. thanks RADEK __ http://reality2.tiscali.cz/ - Realitní server Tiscali.cz
