Re: Mach 1 Computer was: Capacitors for Geckos when using fuses

Make sure you have the distances or steps per rev set properly.

if you have Mach1 set for 1,000 steps per rev and TurboCNC set for
3,000 you will see the speed faster in Mach1 strictly and only for
that reason. Of course the table will move different distances when
you tell it to move one inch.

ditto for accel and max rates.

in TurboCNC it is in the MAIN menu ( 1st screen)

4. Setup machine configuration.
4. Motion setup.

In Master5, you can put in your stepper SPR and gearing ratio to let
the program set it. I assume it is the same in Mach1

The test is to run an inch. if it does then you're good.


btw, on TurboCNC, I just kept upping the accel and max speeds until
the motor started loosing steps, then I backed off 20% works fine
and is fast enough for me.
