Hi Gregg . The locking of the steps is fine in case of safety. The X-Y axis have always to complete the stitch lenght movement, otherwhise you obtain a non costant stitch lenght. Hi Michal Thanks for the infos. A couple of questions more. How do you synchronize the needle movement with the X-Y

[Emc-users] analog spindle scaling problem

2014-08-28 Thread David Armstrong
Guy's i'm having a problem trying to get a analog 10v spinde to scale correctly the spindle has a 1000 count encoder and gives a speed of 6200 rpm now either i set the scale at 62 and i get movement or what i thought was correct and get full speed and no change as i calculate if i am correct

The 7i77 card will read that with no problems. In fact it can go a whole lot faster. On 2014-08-28 16:30, David Armstrong wrote: Gene , this is with a 5i25 and 7i77 analog card , On 28 August 2014 15:29, David Armstrong cncbas...@gmail.com wrote: yes sorry gene in my haste yes it has full

Dave If you are using a 2048 pulse per rev quadrature encoder in counter mode then only the A channel pulses will be counted. Both edges are counted so you get 4096 pulses per revolution. And I think it should be scaled to revolutions per second. Not sure of this though. On 2014-08-28 15:41,

It is supposed to be used for feedback scale, I think. Most people just hard code that in the hal file On 2014-08-28 17:40, andy pugh wrote: On 28 August 2014 14:41, David Armstrong cncbas...@gmail.com wrote: OUTPUT_SCALE = 0.00161 Is that value actually used anywhere in the HAL? --
