The very early servo amps on my Bridgeport have very wimpy transistors, and so I have the fault trip set pretty low. I would occasionally get a fault on one of the servos due to that disconituity, and also always got a "ping" out of my Z servo which has a very lively ironless-rotor servo motor. > Thanks to Jon and Frank for testing it on different machines so > fast. > Not just different machines, but most especially different servo interface hardware. I have tested on my PPMC (analog servo interface), but not yet on the UPC. > Are either of you using FF2? I'm not, but it would be nice if that > was tested too. > I've been using FF2 since 1999. Did you change something in FF2? If so, I will have to do more detailed testing with halscope. I can say I didn't notice any disturbances or serious problems, but I didn't do much more than slow jogs and home operations.
