Hello, Im having some problems with getting the A axis on EMC working. Primarily following errors, but there also appears to be a discrepancy in units between the stepconfig wizard, (degrees/second) vs. EMC (degrees/minute), and deceleration at the end of a move.
Im using a 200 step stepper motor. The drive is microstepping at 25 pulses/step which equates to 13.8888889 pulses/degree. Using the stepconfig wizard, the motor will operate reliably with speeds to 2400 deg/sec and the acceleration at 24000 deg/sec^2. 2400 deg/sec should equate to 144000 deg/min. Using EMC, any speed above 25700 deg/min will cause intermittent following errors, and any speed above 26100 deg/min will always cause a following error. I am testing this by entering G code G1FxxxxxA360 to do one complete turn, or G1FxxxxxA0 to return to the starting point. I upgraded to 2.2.3 yesterday, it didnt seem to make any difference in operation. Ive also noticed that a move in a positive direction, either from 0 to 360 deg or -360 to 0 deg, at the end of the move the motor will always overshoot. It doesnt appear to be ramping speed down, it just stops sending steps. In the negative direction, it works correctly ramping speed down to the stop. Any ideas? Thanks, Fred ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
