Hi,

Hi.

I have not posted in a long time..

So it is now much smaler but more...

I see!

I have not done that and the values are set to the default 10 000 counts/inch, thus explaining the odd behavior of my mill.. :)
i will try updating that tomorrow and retry the same file...

Thanks Tom :)
I will write more later, it takes a long time to gather everything into a document, and i still have some things i need help explaining..



yes you are 100% right, my bad, i am...

i have not figured out any values.. i had forgot that part when moving to a new computer... so they are left to the default value..
and it works really fine, no resonance and no lost steps that i...

basically what is going on here is what i was trying to explain..

found it 5 minutes after posting... doh!

holly crap!

i think i have found a bug in my setup.



in the step response window in kmotion.exe, i have not input any velocity, acceleration or jerk and it is set to 40000, 400000 and 4e+006...

How i got my SX3 mill up and running with Kflop and Kstep.


I bought a used SX3 mill on a whim, I just saw the add in a classified page one day and my impulse control could not keep up with my...

ok, i will check that out =)



i see.. is it this one?


for (;;) // loop forever
{
WaitNextTimeSlice();

the problem it that i did not connect this information, and believe me i have tried to move the axis and measure and make sense of this.. but everything cnc is new to me.. and that is why i ask.. now...

- i will get you a copy of the code soon. i really would like to show you the code and get your opinion on it.




-if i understand what you have tried to tell me earlier, i have 200 steps in...

hi.

we are working on soft limits.. and have added the code to the loop in the init file.

but i have a question..




// Limits

well.. the first "cut" is made using g code
only problem is that i don't have a clue about the coordinate system and how to set it up

one more..

just running the spindle in manual mode.. and jogging the axis from keyboard.. but still, it is under computer numerical control ;)

tomorrow i will try to write up some code for it...

i have made a small video showing the spindle mount and the controller in action.. can't wait to get the Kflop to take over...

so the contens of <Install dir>\KMotion\Data and any C programs i have created..

copy and paste to the new system with a fresh install of kmotion on it?

yes i will check that.. but now that i think about it, it could be that the stepper is on the "wrong" side of the work table.. therefore running it in inverse mode






i have one more...

thanks Tom! :-)


why do you think it is this way? could it be that the motor windings are different? or is it just a matter of witch way the stepper is mounted maybe?

thanks for the documents! i will try and do this at a later stage i think..




also, one more question for you tom.. if i have one stepper motor going the opposite way, X plus is X minus and...

well.. it is alive, although on a semi prototype stage..
the main cabinet is done, all the cables is terminated on connectors and everything is in trays..

inside the cabinet is where the...

i completed the custom harnes..

so now i have mounted the main cabinet on the outside

no it is fine, just post it here if you want to :)

well, did manage to get a bit more work done on the mill and enclosure..

had a lot of help from a good friend of mine, 2 guys can easily lift and move the mill around.. i don't understand all the...

yes i am thinking about a real button..

i just need to know what to do with the program..


the init button is maybe wasted work since i need to use the program when starting up the mill...

i have a new question.

is it possible to make a button for the INIT and for Pause program?

i know how to make the connections and all now.. but i wonder about what to program the inputs to..

c

first, i have been occupied with other work lately so the cnc mill is not finished yet..

but i have now resumed work on it and i have made a RI/O box to be used inside the cabinet... that way i...

Sorry for the delay, but i can now confirm that the sensors works!

I used the diagram that you bhurts posted.

It responds instantly and the light is lit when no metal is pressent, as soon as...
