Hello Everyone
Great news. It is allive. I now have cumputer control on all axis'. I drug the whole family out to show them it moving at my command. They think I am nuts. :withstupi
However, I can only ramp up to about 70% of my max speed before it misses steps, even when the motors are turning free. I am pretty sure this is because I only have a 30v power supply instead of the 48v planned.
My motors do not have a max rmp rating on them but on their power curve chart it shows that they have 125oz/in at 4 thousand full steps a second. I am using Gecko 201's so I have 10 micro steps.
Does anyone know if the motors counting counting 4K full steps means it will turn 40k micro-steps? Or, does this mean it is actually counting each micr-step as a full step and therefore it has 125oz/in at 4k micro -steps/sec and may not even turn my required 20k micro-steps/sec to reach my max speed?
My motors are IH34110's from MCG and my max speed is defined by the amount of unsupported length of my ball-screw.
Thanks for any input
