I think one of the problems I have is that there seems to be no averaging on my spindle encoder values. I've done a test today that highlights that problem. I ran a 1.5mm pitch thread at 200 rpm, with a 125 ppr encoder and recorded the sound. The Z stepper is machine gunning, stop/start/stop/start etc and not running smoothly. The spindle speed isn't changing ( both my o'scope and a frequency counter confirm that) but my system seems to think it is and incorrectly adjusts the Z axis accordingly! I've no idea how, or if it's possible to average the encoder readout? Steve Blackmore -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
