Hi all, Haven't found a clear answer to this yet in the archives, so hoping someone can help.
I've just gotten back to a homebrew CNC machine project from a few years ago and need to figure out why I'm getting incorrect/missing steps. Using an Intel D525MW and IM483 stepper drivers. I was using a homebrew opto-isolator board, and got the incorrect/lost steps, so I tried without (direct from par-port to drives) and getting a lot of chatter. With this, moving the X-axis gets me enough noise on the Y-axis lines that the Y-axis will move. An oscilloscope shows me that the parallel-port output seems to be 3.3V, and I've got noise of up to 1.8V on the step line! Other than shielded wires, I need a decent buffered breakout board. Space is very tight, so leaning towards the C10S from cnc4pc.com here... http://www.cnc4pc.com/Store/osc/product_info.php?cPath=33&products_id=696 Do you think this would resolve my issue? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
