I have a problem with my first time testing.
The problem is the step motor. When I'm trying to move it using Mach2/3, the motor stars to sound (like music from OLD PC GAME-- It sounds all the time), and the motor moves only if I move very slow the Jostik or Mouse option, and if I move the Jostik fast, the motor just sound, but it doesn't move. After a while (30 minutes) it gets hot.
I can make it move with continuity if I push the jostik with a very slow aceleration. (I'm talking about only using my hands and no changing the Jostik SETINGS) but the motor is very sensitive to stop.
What do I have:
*Mach3 and Mach2, loaded in a PC AMD 1.9 GHZ with WIN XP Pro.
*Breakout Board form PcMinMo. I'm not using the pin 1, only Pin 2,3 for X Axis. (I built it)
*Step Motor Driver from Gueko (G212)
*Power supply:1.1 Amp / 68Volts DC after rectification(10 Amp) and Capacitor of 1000uF. (I built it)
*Step Motor: 7.4V - 1.3A - 180 steps/r - 6 wires
Some Configurations:
The default jumper settings on the G212 are:
1) Auto-standby current enabled (2,6 jumpered)
2) Normal current range enabled (1,5 not jumpered)
3) Anti-resonance enabled (3,7 not jumpered)
4) NEMA-42 disabled (4,8 not jumpered)
5) Input option header set to 'common ground' (1,2 3,4 5,6 7,8 jumpered)
6) Resolution set to 'full-step' (1,2 jumpered)
7) terminals 11 and 12 with a 47 k 1/4 watt resistor.
