It seems that moving from 10 to 20" and from 20 to 30" are equal in distance and that the move from 0 to 10" if off.
I suspect you have a back lash problem (play) Move from 0 to -1" and than back to...
There is very little to find even YouTube and Google show only one video. So you have to find out your self how it is working.
The result is a map of X,Y,Z points. That is a 3D mapping.
UGS has an option to probe a height map and export the data to a file. It is not fast but it runs unattended.
If the motors get hot, the wiring of the stepper motors is OK.
If the motors get hot during running the problem is the step signal because the motors are enabled. The motor shaft is not locked...
XS = X step pin
XD = X direction pin
XL = X limit pin (probably)
NC = not connected pin, you can ignore these pins
GD is ground pin, you probably only need to connect in GD pin
Pm = PWM pin...
You probably have, but did you uploaded the new configuration to your board?
To be sure, you should change the version and check if the uploaded version matches your setting.
You could also post an...
You can not use a button to start a initiate a cycle on your ramps grbl controller. Starting a cycle has to be done using the gcode sender.
There is a cycle start button that is intended to...
I found "Diadrive 2000" using google, seems to be a German company. Mutronic / CNC drilling, milling and engraving machines
They don't mention anything about their hardware. I guess that the...
You can change the direction of the motor in the config | Port & Pins | Motor Outputs screen:
Invert the Dir LowActive setting.
Craig,
The OP wants to update the PC and needs a new (USB) controller.
You are right about points 1,2,3 but to connect a new controller, the pin out is needed.

The "easiest" way would be opening the box and following the wiring.
If you have a working system, you could also monitor the signals at the parallel port pins using an oscilloscope. Start by the...
According to this document http://www.mutronic.de/pdf/DIADRIVE%202000%20-E-.pdf this system comes with software and a dongle. It is probably connected to a PC using a parallel port cable. This...
Check the bugs list (issues) from the controller (firmware) you want to use to estimate the impact of know bugs on your work.
Not every controller is supported by every CAD/CAM system. You have to...
Why, because for hobby use, a mach3/4 board and license can be quit expensive, especially if you want to use a "modern" PC running a modern Windows version.
Mach, Linux, CSlab, Eding, etc are all...
I have written macro's for probing that uses a dialog box. It moves to the (fixed) probe position, probes the tool length and move to the corner of the vice.

I recently build my mill using an MKS TinyBee board (ESP32) and FluidNC firmware. The TinyBee board has 6 (5 are usable) sockets for stepstick drivers and also connectors for external drivers. I use...
Maybe that other machine has a license (hardware of software key). Try using that other machine, it can rule out one of the problems.
Xon Xoff is a software handshake that also my not be...
I am not familiar with that controller or the NCnet lite software but:
It could be you are transferring the data to fast and are flooding the controller buffer. To avoid flooding the buffers RS232...
If the driver is enabled, the motor can't be turned by hand. An enabled stepper motor can get hot when it is not turning. For that, most drivers have an option (switch) to reduce the current when not...
Grbl 1.1f is the latest & stable version and running flawless on thousands of uno's.
Updating the IDE should make no difference, grbl doesn't use any of the Arduino library's. The only thing that...
You could have measured some backlash in your result. Move 1", zero the dial and than move another 1" in the same direction. Repeat the last step and gather some measurements. It will tell something...
After the first move to -0.3 mm, the change in position equals the change in move. So the settings are OK.
You have backlash/play/tilt in your Z-axis resulting in about 0.08 mm backlash. Check the...
That would require more than just a top quality bearing. Your spindle and collet should also be better than 5um and that is not achievable price wise and not using my hobby tools.
I want to do the...
I have checked a lot of PCB milling videos and the best result are those who use a fairly heavy (800W +) router. That probably is caused by the bearing quality heavy routers have. There is a pcb...
We all keep learning from things that don't work as expected.
I have never calculated the influence of the servo "dead band with" before because I assumed it would be neglectable at such high...
5V output to the VFD is no problem. You can set the VFD to run at full speed on a 5V input signal.
The Arduino output is a 5V PWM signal. Your VFD probably won't like this signal. I am going to...
If I remember right, your servo has a resolution 12800 pulses/rev, 0.00078 mm using a 1610 ball screw. Assuming that the servo has an error window (tracking error limit) of at least 4 counts, the...
If it is not the ball screw, bearings, rails, or resonance, and the problem is most visible in the 45° angle, than it can be caused by X and Y steppers not running synchronously.
If you monitor the...
Last year I experimented with the preload of a matched pair of 7000AC bearings. I found that the difference between no preload and overloaded was arround 0.01 mm.
On YouTube I saw a video of...
