Axes working now. I found my error in configuration. The axes were moving in the commanded direction, but I didn't notice that the encoder was reading the opposite sign of that direction. Duh! On Thu, Apr 9, 2020 at 10:01 PM Joe H <67p...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks, Gene I won't dwell on that

Thanks, Gene I won't dwell on that then. It must be something else I've done incorrectly. On Thu, Apr 9, 2020 at 9:33 PM Gene Heskett wrote: > On Thursday 09 April 2020 20:28:55 Joe H wrote: > > > Should I be able to jog the axes with the drive not enabled through > > LinuxCNC with a 7i33? I

Should I be able to jog the axes with the drive not enabled through LinuxCNC with a 7i33? I have not had any success in being able to control movement, speed, or distance either in continuous or in step increments. It moves in the correct direction, but only stops when it exceeds following error.

Thank you, Andy, Peter. I will try this and spend more time and effort in PID tuning per John Thornton's tutorial. On Sun, Apr 5, 2020 at 9:18 PM andy pugh wrote: > On Mon, 6 Apr 2020 at 01:18, Joe H <67p...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > How can I scale the motor input/output and keep the encoders

Hi all, I hope everyone is well. I have mounted encoders on the ball screws of my mill so that I can keep the working tach's on the motors. When trying to configure it using PNCconf wizard, it seems to be made to configure with encoders on the motors. With the encoders scaled to track accurately,
