Subject: [Emc-users] Help with stepgen joint error using Mesa 5i25 7i76 cards

Hey guys.

I will post this on the forum also...

So I'm just setting up my cnc mill with Mesa cards and step/dir

Using 5i25 and 7i76.

Chinese servos are working well.

But I just spent most of my Saturday chasing this funny stepgen joint error.

I am wanting a resolution of at least.  0.005 mm.  And I want at least 12 m
per min rapid speed as I'm retrofitting a high speed linear rail machine.
The ballscrews are 16 mm pitch.

Does anyone know why I get a stepgen joint error?  And also when moving at
high speed Linux cnc rapids to about 3 mm of the end and then it slowly
inches up the last little bit.

I don't think its a big problem and I'll go ahead and bolt the motors to
the machine.  But would appreciate some help from people.


This sounds like an error caused by a scale problem in pncconf on metric configurations.

Check your hal file are remove any lines like:

setp pid.XXX.maxerror .0005

(this number makes sense for inch machines but not mm machines)


Regards

Andrew
