Hi
I have ben testing Jedicut for some days.
But I can not get the motors to run smooth.
I have ben testing manny different values/speeds and dll.
The travel is correct and speed seams ok.
The cnc card works fine with mach3.
Can it be the pin 17 engine on/off
In the manual for the board Pin 17 is marked as relay control.

Best Regards
Daniel

Hi there,

i am using the last beat version when i encountered this problem, but i got it also when i tried the last stable version.

When i use 2 dat files with the same amount of key-points, i gat an error when i try to preview the cut file, or when i try to cut the file.

Anyone has a clue, im am too new at this to say hat it's a bug so i'mm probably doing something wrong

Grtz,

ROb

Hi Daniel

I think I might have the same problem. See my post "Steppers are skipping steps" also posted today

Cutting distance and speed is OK but motors randomly skips/resonate within the same cut.

Please let me know if you find a solution.

Thanks

Daniel,

What board do you have ? Do you have any other program running on your computer ?

If you configure to high speed, your motors will lose steps. And if you don't heat enough when cutting, your motors will lose steps too...

I still can not get the motors to run smooth
I have been testing with mach 3
And everything works good (from 1 -2 mm/sec feed)
I can not find any proseses who wold interfer.
I have onely run jedicut with no load (no material )

Nb mm/pas = 0.005 (I have 1 mm pitch on leadscrews) 1,8deg 200 stepp motors
Cut speed =600 (with estimate 0.03 mm/sec)
fast =900 (with estimate 0.02 mm/sec) If I try 1400 (estimat = 0,01) and any number over that makes no diference.
Visualcnc xp.dll is jused.

One more thing.
My driver board runs mutch warmer ??
Driverboard

Youtube motor running
Take a look

Daniel,

Do you check the option "synchronize with external timer" in Jedicut ?

I took a look at your video and I think your speed is too high.

Hi again

I have uploaded 5 videos
The one linked to in my last reply was det middel speed 500.(I have marked the videos with Nb mm/pas and speed)
If I make the engines go slower than move 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHZ6At1F ... re=channel
They do run very hard .(video 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqb0_AgwxNc )
And her are my settings video 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi3RkaDCnEM

Hi again
I have uploaded some new videos http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=SomeCnc&view=videos
With different speeds.
Video 1 have 300in speed and the video in my last reply had speed 500 (video nr 2)
Video nr4 is a simulation run of an airfoil (Where it is almost posible to count the steps) and it viberates loudly.
Video nr5 is of my settings in jedicut.

Hi,

What kind of board is this ? A visual CNC one ? Are you sure of your pin configuration ?

Last question : do you have any documentation for the signal Jedicut have to send to your board ?
