Thanks. I got it figured out. Or I should say it is working now. There was two parts to my problem. 1. The pulsing on the DIR line was fixed by the PID control (not sure how this works, but it does). 2. I had the stepper drivers set up the wrong way. They were in STEP C.W. / STEP C.C.W mode rat

The machinekit-fdm configs are also using the PID workaround. https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/blob/master/lib/python/fdm/config/base.py#L60 Charles Steinkuehler writes: > On 11/5/2016 8:11 AM, Johan Jensen wrote: >> >> _4. After completing the first jog command (+/- does not matter), th

I would stick with using the same pins as an existing design, or you'll be stuck generating/updating configs. I'm partial to the CRAMPS design myself. On Monday, November 7, 2016 at 4:36:02 AM UTC-5, Dean Gouramanis wrote: > > Hello world. I am new to this group. > > I recently made a new cape

2016-11-07 Thread Dean Gouramanis
Hello world. I am new to this group. I recently made a new cape for my DIY CNC machine build. It is an opto isolation cape for connecting external drivers to the BeagleBone. It also includes an LVDS video output for an LCD screen. The main features are: 15 high-speed outputs 4 solid
