Re: KMotionCNC: Non-repeatable discrete shift on Y-Axis during GCODE operation

Hi Griffin,

I sort of doubt it. Normally the axes aren't enabled and disabled. Normally after being disabled the axes are re-zeroed anyway. Also the high frequency burst of pulses is usually ignored by the Drives. But yes, please update to 5.4.1 to eliminate this possibility.

Re: SnapAmp smoked from reversed polarity at motor supply inputs

Sorry to hear this. Reversing power is one of the worst things that can happen. We don’t find it cost effective to repair boards. Especially in a case where multiple things are likely damaged. If everything isn’t fixed then applying power may cause more damage. The caps probably aren’t shorted rathe...

Re: Motor don't work in Mach3

Please re-Post your initialization C Program and Mach3 Profile and we can look at them to see if they are now correct. Make sure you post the Initialization C program Mach3 is configured to use. I can't see in the video what you are doing and what is happening. Its better if you explain. You should ...

Re: KMotionCNC: Non-repeatable discrete shift on Y-Axis during GCODE operation

Hi Griffin,

One dwell after each G1 should be sufficient. Or one before each wait might be better if it would be beneficial to allow the trajectory planner to combine/smooth/blend other G1 motions together normally.

Re: KMotionCNC: Non-repeatable discrete shift on Y-Axis during GCODE operation

Hi Griffin, That monitor program I described might also monitor acceleration as a delta-delta Dest to detect an instance such as instant acceleration or deceleration (stop). Does this mean that the steppers are not being accelerated/decelerated between GCODE segments? If so this definitely seems lik...

Re: Motor don't work in Mach3

Should I set all three axes to 0?
yes

Re: KMotionCNC: Non-repeatable discrete shift on Y-Axis during GCODE operation

Hi Griffin, 3200 steps/mm seems very high is there a reason for such high resolution. Not that there is a problem just trying to understand the system. The max Velocity is 9000. Is that steps/sec or mm/sec? One seems very slow the other very fast. Not sure why you think a mechanical problem would be...

Re: KMotionCNC: Non-repeatable discrete shift on Y-Axis during GCODE operation

Hi Griffin, What type of motor drives do you have? Steppers? Servos? Do you have encoders? What is the resolution of the axes? How many counts or steps would 1mm be? What Version of software are you using? Can you post your Initialization C Program? I would expect a communication issue to result in ...
