RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC2 DC-servo controlled minimill

Thanks Les! I'll give that a try.

If you use velocity mode in Mach you can get smooth response. In this mode it won't keep in sync with any graduations on the MPG. I simply rely on looking at the DROs rather than the wheels. To get really smooth response you need much more than 100PPR. My X and Y use 500PPR and Z is 1200PPR. 1200 is getting near the limit but it gives very smooth response, from maximum rapid speed right down to individual motor steps.Lesshawn c wrote:> Do you offer a turn key solution Jon?

The Mach3 software isnt quite there yet. Very jerky and looses MPG steps. Doesnt follow real well at high crank speed. There maybe someone out there that has some hardware built to overcome these issues, but I havent found them yet. > So Mach is out for now. And on to EMC......>
